Muses

Musing on Cinderella. I might be slow but the Prince still can’t catch me.

Tortoise. 

A turtle. Especially a terrestrial turtle.

Meet Cinderella.

Come on people. Has anyone seen a shoe? It's Waterford and a size 10 tortoise.

Yes, the newest member of the Miles’ household is a reptile.

(I guess the last newest member of our household was another reptile — a snake — who escaped.)

Snakes can escape.

Tortoises, turtles who are land bound, cannot. Or so one would think.

This Cinderella has some moves and not just on the dance floor.

You look up and she’s nowhere to be seen.

Okay, we’ve found her every time but I got to admire her chutzpah.

“I maybe be a turtle but…

Don’t fence me in.”

She made it to the pumpkin before the Prince grabbed hold of her shell.

I like her.

I like her more than I thought I could.

With Cinderella, slow is the new fast.

These days I’m into slowing down.

How about you?
