I love this perspective- I even named my 2025 journal “another year another story” .. our life experiences are all part of our story - the good the bad and the ugly.. so much of it just seems routine and ordinary then a plot twist puts a new spin - someone gets sick, a new opportunity arises. Someone is born. Someone dies. Dreams get dashed. Plans come true. Adventures happen. Some learn. Some don’t. The story line is left up to us until it’s something out of our control the the plot thickens. Or fizzles. Other peoples story gets mixed in with ours. Their story makes ours better. Or worse. We might wonder what’s the point of my story and get inspired to make it a point. Or not. We might get discouraged and wish the story ended differently. Or ended. Put down like a bad book never to be finished. Some stories are meant to teach. Some are meant to entertain like a good romance novel you read in summer vacation. Some stir your soul and create action. Some make you cry and grieve while others make you crack up laughing. Everyone I meet in a day has a story. I meet lots of bad stories. Sad or meaningless stories. I hear “don’t get old…” and I laugh and say “what’s the alternative.. I just drop out now? “. Lonely stories. Adventurous stories. Pain filled stories. Unexpected stories. People are all a story .. thanks for sharing yours! I’ll buy you a cup of coffee. 💕 because I’m gonna make this my Substack post today!
