It's not over until the plump lady sings.

Most people who know me, would say that I am a friendly, happy-go-lucky, yet caring and sensitive person who operates pretty much on an even keel. People who really know me would say the same, but they also know I can be a real prima donna at times – just ask my Him, or my friend and ex-boss John, certain family members and probably my friend MM too.

Most of those people mentioned above I am very close to in one way or another and they forgive me for my occasional episodes of “high-drama” just as I would forgive them.

Here is part of the definition of Prima donna I took from wikipedia….”[re: Opera stars] Legendarily, these "prima donnas" (prime donne in Italian) were often regarded as egotistical, unreasonable and irritable, with a rather high opinion of themselves not shared by others. Although whether they are truly more vain or more hot-tempered than other singers (or than any other people in the opera houses) is not substantiated, the term often signifies a vain, obnoxious and temperamental person who, although irritating, cannot be done without."

There are people in our lives who would just walk away from us when we fail to meet expectations of consistency or when we become upset or irritating or have temper tantrums…but the people who Love us/Care about us are with us through thick and thin – usually because they need us as much as we need them ..and I mean this in a positive-good way not a needy-dependent way. Love is reciprocal and eternal.

Speaking of thick and thin and plump ladies … This plump lady sings all the time, and is starting a healthy living plan today – take in less for me, give out more of me...(aka eat less exercise more)!

Peace and Love
Keren
