The following post is dedicated to a very special member of our family. From her I learned many lessons. I also received a special bit of lavender called Jp and he is the epitome of the story.
Please enjoy, and share with your loved ones. I do.

Soft Magic
“I am stuffed!”
“Excuse me, but we’re all stuffed.”
“Ok, I’ll give you that.”
Now many of you reading this have stuffed animals. But do you know what happens when you’re not around? No, they don’t stay where you left them. It isn’t your family pet that moves these guys. Never underestimate these kritters.
“Hey guys, our human left his computer on.”
“So?”
“Let’s see what we can find.”
Stuffed animals have a very special magic. But, anyone who shares their life with these fuzzy creatures already knows how magical they are. It only takes one hug to soften a bad day. Scientists the world over are very frustrated. That a stuffed animal is magic is well understood. But no scientist has been able to explain it. Many cuddly creatures end up in labs. But no amount of prodding, no fancy electronic instrument ever discovered the reason. But magical they are.
“Eeyore, use your magic on this computer. It’s time for us to have some fun.”
“Ok, but what do you have in mind, Jp?”
“I heard there are some really neat looking new animals coming out and I thought we’d pop over to that special site of ours to see for ourselves.”
“You mean the ones the human can’t see?”
“Yep”
“Hey you two, aren’t those new animals a little bit risqué for us?”
“Yep, that’s why we’re going.”
Now there is another little known fact about stuffed animal magic. They have a way of accessing computers, looking around, then leaving them just as they were. No human has ever seen it happen, but a little girl in Guthrie, Ok. Woke up one night and saw her little bear searching the Internet. She just watched for a bit then went back to bed. It didn’t surprise her at all but she told a couple of friends and learned from her teacher that it is a special magic these creatures have.
This all sounds very odd to many adults. But, pick up one and cuddle it when things are a bit rough in your life. They have an amazing affect. But, as one of the humans that share a life with these bundles of softness, I know what the secret really is. It is the universal problem solver and the best medicine one can ever be given. Stuffed animals are the givers of love.
