Many people are interesting, okay, so what? Well, think of
the most colorful people around you right now. I don’t mean who is sitting
right there with you as much as I am insinuating that you should think about
who is involved in your life right now. I bet there are some pretty colorful
people.
My future mother-in-law is one of the most colorful people
in my life. A challenge, sure, but colorful seems like a good fit to describe
her. She is very opinionated, strong willed and does not embarrass easily.
These traits seem like a recipe for disaster for any soon to be daughter-in-law
to walk into.
Would the five phone calls a day overwhelm you or would it
be the multiple visits she makes right to your
house? Or the people she talks
to that she shares all your business with?
You have to envision a short and stout woman with brown hair
and a burst of red highlights. When she gets worked up she instantly stands a
little taller and her face gets flushed and I imagine that if she was a cartoon
character you would see the steam come shooting out her ears.
What you wouldn’t know by looking at her is that she would
drop anything to help absolutely anyone. She may be over bearing, but she is
quick to rush to the aid of others. Whether or not you need bread, she will
bring it to you. She will tell everyone what happened and convince them to help
you as well.
Sometimes it is easy to pick up on the negative, but it’s
more important to see past the negative. It’s more important to acknowledge the
generosity, love, and compassion that she exudes.
She does sound like a handful, but it's nice you can see around that to the other side.
