Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and The Fox

One of the best things about postcards, in my honest opinion, is the ability that little piece of paper has to brighten up your day!  Sure, most of the postcards you receive will be something you're looking for or swapped for, but every once in a while, the postcard you see in your mailbox just makes your day!  That's the case for the subject of this fabulous post!  I slid my key into the lock and opened up the little door, and this beauty was sitting on top!

Look at this cute little fox and his adorable chickies!  There are the two that are sleeping, oblivious to the world, the one sitting on top of his furry little orange head like a hat, and the fourth just standing there.  I love them all!  The fox has adorable little feet.  It almost looks like he stepped into sticky mud and it never came off!  Though, I have to say that this little illustration reminds me of a children's story!  Do you see his little teeth?  So cute!

This is such a great quote! I remember reading Alice in Wonderland as a child and it was such a trip, heading down the rabbit hole into the strange new land.  There are quite a few quotes from those writings that we could take note in, but we would agree in saying this is probably one of the most important. "I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then." How true is that?  Things happen in our life that aren't always what we want to happen, and we feel, sometimes, that we are in the wrong place at the wrong time and we'd do anything we could to change that.  But the fact of the matter is, we can't.  It's as simple as that.  Not only that, but even if we could, we would change the entire course of the rest of our lives!  Maybe that was meant to happen.  After all, don't they say everything happens for a reason?  I believe that.  Certainly, that doesn't always mean that the things that happened were happy or joyful, but it definitely helped shape us to be the people we are today.  We can't change the past but we can go forward and try to have a happier future!
