Cinderella
PRONUNCIATION: (sin-duh-REL-luh)
MEANING: noun: 1. One who deserves success or recognition, but instead suffers from neglect or obscurity. 2. One who achieves sudden triumph or recognition, especially after a long period of neglect or obscurity.
ETYMOLOGY: After Cinderella, the fairy-tale character who is mistreated by her stepmother and stepsisters. With a little help from a fairy godmother, she attends a royal ball thrown by a prince. Ultimately, she marries the prince and lives happily ever after. What’s behind the name Cinderella? It’s a pseudo-translation of the French name of the girl, Cendrillon, from cendre (cinder), perhaps an allusion to her day-to-day existence, tending to the fireplace and hearth, and as a result she has cinders all over her. It may also be a hint to the hidden spark in her otherwise dismal life. Earliest documented use: 1840.
USAGE: “Perhaps because dentistry is the Cinderella of the public health system, receiving little attention, these problems have been allowed to persist.” Paul Cullen; Grindingly Slow Progress on Inquiry into Children’s Orthodontic Damage; Irish Times (Dublin); Apr 2, 2019.
“The Badgers are the Cinderella of the Final Four thanks to toppling a national championship winner.” Ben Steele; Sconnie Final Four Is Set; Green Bay Press Gazette (Wisconsin); Apr 1, 2020.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: The man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. -Ernest Hemingway, author, journalist, Nobel laureate (21 Jul 1899-1961)

Dear God,
I want to be a more devout Catholic. I want a rock solid prayer routine that I can pray daily. I want to pray the rosary daily. I want a rock solid foundation of the Catholic Faith, history. I want a rock solid base of the bible. Would you please, please, please help me with this? I would be so super grateful for that. I need all the help I can get in this area. I give it all to you for you to deal with. It’s in your hands now. I have no control over this. I have faith in you. Please listen to my prayer.

Dear God,
Why are young ferns called fiddleheads? Why are they not called something else? Why do you only pick them at one time of the year? Why can’t you pick them year round? Why can’t you eat ferns when they are grown? Which ferns can you pick for eating as fiddleheads? Can you eat all fern types? Or is it just a couple of varieties? When, why & how did people start to eat fiddleheads for food? How do you eat fiddleheads? How do you cook fiddleheads? How many recipes are there for making fiddleheads?

Cousin Erika: Revised
By: Tara Kimberley Torme
In all the years I have known you
I don’t know you too well
Of the things together we do
It’s not talking on Bell.
We were apart for year to many
In which we grew and changed.
Today I feel that seeing you, it’s all so queer
My life since then is deranged
I am so glad to see you again
After all this time
Through hurly-burly lightning or rain
For us-can be no more mime
So let us keep in touch from now on
And on and on and on
I hope to see you very soon
But let’s not be like leprechauns!
SILENT MEOW AUTOBIOGRAPHY POEM
I thought it was awesome – seagulls and
Sand in my favorite color of pink. How grand
The surrounding area was: majestic and clear
Water in the sea. I’d observe here
The surrounding wildlife around me. I
Was told seagulls ate a lot of shrimp which is why
They were all pink. And the color of the sand
Was because of the rocks in the ground. And
I spent a lot of time by myself. She
Had appointments to go to. As for me
I did not really mind at all. I always found
Something to do on my own. All around
Me I could go on the pier and fish or
I could read. I was never bored. More
Often than not I enjoyed my time alone.
When my mother spent time with me, grown
Up activities were always on the agenda. We
Went one day to a crepe place. My mother took me
To that restaurant famous for crepes and the
Toppings. They served fresh fruit and we
Could order our choice toppings. Unfortunately I
Wanted strawberries that were not in season. My
