Plum or Prune?

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/

I am not a big fan of either fruit, but prunes were the one thing I hated to eat the most. If I were to describe myself in those terms, I would say I can be quite sweet like a plum, and have a caring nature. When my daughter calls me, and asks if I can go out with her, I tend not to say no. If my son asks for a favour, the same rule applies. Family is important, and it is something I have learnt because they have brought me up to see the glass as half full, and we can always top it up.

I can be sarcastic if I am in the right sort of mood. I am bad at saying if something has upset me. Most of the time I will keep it in until something in me just snaps. It is my husband that gets the ranting that follows. I know if I talk to him, it will go no further. I don’t like it when I am annoyed; it is like the worst part of being human. We all make mistakes-me included.

I find being part of a social group difficult because I am nervous about saying the wrong thing. Other people will be like that too, and I need to learn not to judge before I share my opinion. It is easier when I am blogging, because I have time to think before saying something. When I am talking to another person, it isn’t as easy.
