It is my belief that the best prince will be found while living, not hidden away in a castle. I don't like sending the message to young girls that they are incomplete without a man. Instead, they should be all they were created to be and then find a man who appreciates them for who they are...anyway, I digress.
The purpose of this post isn't about the messages we send to girls about their worth, but instead I was reminded of one message in the fairy tale story of Cinderella that I do like. A message that is worth repeating. What is it? Believing in the impossible. Here is the wonderful exchange between her and her fairy godmother...
Cinderella: Is it possible to get those things by wishing for them?Fairy Godmother: Well, the sensible people of this world will say Fol-de-rol and fiddle dee dee and fiddley faddley foddle all the wishes in the world are poppy cock and twoddle.
Cinderella: Aren't they?
Fairy Godmother: Not always. The sensible people will also say Fol-de-rol and fiddle dee dee and fiddley faddley foodle all the dreamers in the world are dizzy in the noodle.
Cinderella: And aren't they?
Fairy Godmother: Not always, especially when there is someone who loves you to help you...
Cinderella: Oh, dear Fairy Godmother it all seems so impossible!!
Fairy Godmother: Impossible! But the world is full of zanies and fools who don't believe in sensible rules and won't believe what sensible people say.. and because these daft and dewey eyed dopes keep building up impossible hopes impossible things are happening every day!
I must be one of those daft and dewey eyed dopes, because I keep building up impossible hopes that impossible things will happen. What impossible things are you hoping for?
Just Sheri, (still) hoping for the impossible
