Crestfallen

 

 

“Whoa is me, I have crested the rise only to slide down the
other side.  Hard work and determination
culminated in victory but alas it was short lived.  Success is barely meaningful if it is
permanent.  Poor, poor dear, I will have
to strive once more at the face of a new challenge or even worse might have to
make another run at this one.  How shall
I ever bear it?” I lament, my sponsor smiles.

“Are you learning to be amused at yourself or hoping to
bring back melodrama to the everyman?” 
She queries.

“A little of both I think, whining is a consolation to me,”
I reply.

“It’s nice that you’re not doing it at me, but even nicer
that you have let your achievements teach you to laugh at your mishaps,” says
my sponsor with a kiss to my forehead.
