Teddy Day 2023

2023-02-10

In this day and age the word teddy brings to mind a sheer ladies garment that is one of those danties comprising elements of their trousseaux.

Yeah. When I was a kid I had a teddy bear or two. I even had a small pink one that I was quite attached to for a while. Who knows what goes on in a little boy's head to make him so ... tender shall we say ?

I miss that boy that was me prior to becoming the big brash oaf I am today.

Over the years I have admired the Teddy Ruxpin and of course Paddington Bear. However, these feelings pale in comparison to that little pink bear with the blue ribbon my mama gave me when I was a youngster.

Today is Teddy Day. It happens annually each February 10.

While I cannot address the wardrobes of ladies nor those emotions one might have for a stuffed animal — I can relate to the fact that they have and do exist in the minds of various others who take these creations as companions of imagination and all those warm and fuzzies which come with them.

Happy Teddy Day. Should have a bear of your own all the better.
