Tell me a story...

Some of you may know that I come from a long line of storytellers...um, rather I should say, people who like to tell stories.  Granted, some family members are really good at telling stories and some just like to talk.  Haha. I tend to think that what we like most of all about telling stories is the laughter, the "awww" moments, and really just people's reactions while we're speaking. I am one of those story tellers.

I love to tell stories and, boy, do I have a great one about the last two years of my life, but sometimes I just need to listen. I want to share the changes, the ups, the downs, the moments of clarity, and the moments of sheer exhiliration knowing that God is near and holding my hand through this journey.

I am excited to tell my friends and acquaintances all these things, but today I was reminded that things have also happened in the lives of my dear friends and acquaintances so when you ask me about the goings-on in my life, PLEASE share what has happened in yours!! I have some friends who have been through life-changing events and anguish. I also have friends who have experienced joy, love, and happiness.  PLEASE tell me about it! I love to talk and see reactions to my stories, but I also love to listen and be a shoulder to cry on or give an encouraging hug and prayer.

I'm so happy to be back with all my dear friends and familiar faces. Of course I miss the new friends we made, but I look forward to the future and what it holds.
