    Wonderful quote, especially since I am as slow as a snail now myself. But when you are slow, you notice more things. Hey, I made your bedtime cinnamon vanilla milk. It is out of this world! So good and comforting! I will be having a mug full all fall long.

      We are kindred spirits Ginny, I often channel my inner snail :))) Yes, that's very true, we do notice more! That's great that you enjoyed the bedtime drink. Happy to hear it :)

    We can learn a lot by taking things more slowly.

    I suffer because I am becoming a snail, I have been fulls speed ahead, hare speed and now am getting the snail slide. and every thing is slippery and I slide about. You and Ginny both do the snail trail well and bring us all the things you see because you move slow enough to see it... the graphic is gorgouse

      Thank you Sandra :) each of us goes at our own pace. My brain runs faster than I can move at times and I have gotten myself into trouble because of it.

    That quote reminds me of my park run, I am the slowest one out there, and it gives me a big kick passing those who have sprinted off and then have to stop! Great Quote. Have a great day!

    I wonder if they started crawling as soon as Noah started building since it took 120 years for the Ark to be built. :)

    I thought you were going to tell us news about your sprain. When my leg was broke I felt like a snail that was never going to heal.
