Monologue Mania Day # 1418 Thank you, Gal Gadot's Mother by Janet S. Tiger (c) Jan. 1, 2018

(The actor emerges, ok, it's me again!)
This past year has been quite a year - some might say there were a lot of problems,
and maybe that was true, but today I wanted to start the new year with something upbeat -
and I just wanted to tip my New Year's hat to Gal Gadot, who played the lead in
WONDER WOMAN, one of the top films of 2017.
Yes, it was quite a year for Gal - I watched and read how she was pregnant
while finishing WONDER WOMAN, how she had morning sickness, and how
she had an assistant carry a bucket around to help her. (The assistant actually helped
by singing during Gal's need for the bucket)
And then I saw the movie with my daughter, and it was quite a movie!
Running, jumping, even flying! All while pregnant! What a woman!
But what really impressed me was something that came out of an interview - and - unlike
the magical, impossible abilities of Wonder Woman, it was advice I could actually use -
and it was not from Gal, but from, yes, her mom! Now to be honest, I can't remember, whether
the interview was in print, or live - but I do remember the exact words.
Gal said her mother had always impressed upon her the importance of being neat, and
had used the expression - 'Messy in the eyes, messy in the head'.
And I loved it! Now here was something useful! Not a lasso, or a headband or a whip (okay, the
whip might have value, but it is highly illegal) no, this was advice for the ages. Sensible but succinct
and I have now used this expression to neaten up big areas of my house.
Okay, a spot here and there, but now, whenever I see a mess, I think of those words.....
and try to straighten up a bit.
And then I think of yet another quote from the same family- from Gal Gadot's daughter.who said.....
every woman is a wonder woman.
What truths! And what a good way to start the year - wishing all my readers a Happy, Healthy
and WONDER-full New Year for all!
