Websters definition of aplomb is: a state of mind or manner marked by composure, an easy coolness; freedom from uncertainty, or embarrassment.
As you now know, very hilarious things can happen to this Little Person!😂Like when I used to have speaking engagements.
Well as you know, podiums are designed for an average height person and definitely NOT for a person of MY height. So I would have to stand on a chair just to be even SEEN over the podium and to be able to reach the microphone.
No problem, right?
Wrong.
Sometimes you see, one can momentarily forget one is height compromised if one is standing on a chair when speaking. And it comes time for that person to make a grand exit away from the podium. And then...AND THEN...suddenly go flying through the air in front of a large audience.😱
Falling off my horses has served me well though. To help prevent injury and save face, if one falls in one smooth free flowing event, one may eventually end up back on one's feet like the whole thing was meant to happen just to show how very talented and athletic one can be in these events.🤔
So this very special talent served me quite well with aplomb when I had a sudden brain fart memory lapse about my height challenge, completely forgetting I was standing on a chair before a large crowd of people.

I went flying through the air, yet when I came in contact with the stage, I continued right back up on my feet in such a smooth, well executed moment of aplomb the audience gave me another round of applause. For you see, everyone assumed what I had just magnificently done was my usual grand way of exiting the stage. All the time.🙄
Sometimes aplomb is needed to grab a bright shining moment too, and fill it with buckets of charm...
In a city I once lived was a gentleman who was the official Santa...and he looked just like Santa too, with a real white beard, red clothing, and spectacles. One day during the Christmas Season, I was in a busy grocery store shopping. As I hurried around a corner up a crowded aisle, I literally ran right smack into Santa.
For a moment we both just looked at each other in complete surprise.
Seizing the moment (there was a reason why I nailed

For a moment we both just looked at each other in complete surprise.
Seizing the moment (there was a reason why I nailed
an A in Acting 101), I blurted out, "Santa! I know I should be with the other elves up North right now, but there are things we really need from this store!"
He went with it, and replied, "Ho Ho Ho! We've been so busy, I understand, my little one! I had to come for Mrs. Claus. Did the reindeer bring you too?"
"No, because they are all with you! But I found another way to get here by using the magical snowmobile."
Back and forth we went. You should have seen not

Back and forth we went. You should have seen not
only the faces of the kids in that aisle, but the adults! They were all just totally transfixed in sheer wonder, absolutely loving us!😃
By grabbing a moment with aplomb, we gave a bunch of harried adults and tired kids a moment of magic they will likely never forget. Besides having fun doing it. A beautiful touch of wonder moment in Aisle Ten.
Having aplomb is a very magical, wonderful treasure, my dear ones. Grab hold of aplomb and I promise, you will land on your feet.💫💥🐎😃🐎💥💫
