yesterday, i was driving down my friend's road which is gravel and noticed a turtle that was almost in the middle of the road. i stopped my car, picked it up and put the turtle in my car to drive it down to the creek. no problem. this morning, driving to work and, coincetentally from the same friend's house, i saw another turtle on a different stretch of road.
this may seem like just a coincedence but the turtle is an important figure in my husband's family. his grandfather loved turtles and their ability to retreat when needed. in addition, several weeks ago, i was seeing turtles everyday in the middle of the road. when i finally stopped and picked one up, set him in the grass, i stopped seeing them. as mentioned, it started again yesterday. i am curious to know what this means for me. if you have ideas, click on "comment" under this blog and let me know.
after the last round of turtles, i did an internet search and here is what i came up with:
"Turtle teaches us to be careful in new situations and to be patient in reaching our goals. Turtle also teaches us to take things slow, for it gives us time to figure out if we need to protect our self or forge ahead. Turtle shows up in our lives when we need to go into shell and wait until our thoughts & ideas are ready to be expressed. He also teaches us to be adaptable to our environment so we can find the harmony within it."

The importance of the turtle to Scott's grandfather is interesting. When I think of a turtle I think of its strong and balanced shell. A shell that can proved shelter, protection, and especially, comfort.
The passage from the internet about the turtle is very fitting for you. As you move ahead in your life remember to take it slow and be careful. Rather than rushing into new situations think them out. As for what it means to you, I think by you stopping and helping that turtle get out of the road you slowed yourself down. It has given you a chance to stop and think about what the importance of the turtle stands for. I know it's easier said than done but if you can apply the characteristics of the turtle to your life things should come easier. Remember, slow and steady wins the race.
Love ya Sis!
