Me Blog? About What?

Recently, a friend, who was unfamiliar with blogging, but who followed a link on FB to one of my blog posts, asked me...."How do you come up with all that stuff to write? I don't really have any stories like that."

LIFE is a story, folks, and everybody has one.

We are all a collection of stories. Every experience, every encounter, every thought, every dream, every conversation, every heartache, every loss, every love, every hate, every whim, every wish....

I write about mundane stuff. And sometimes, it's really just mundane stuff. But sometimes, hidden in that perfectly prosaic, is beauty and poetry and poignance. We don't have to lead large, splashy soap opera lives to add value or interest to the world. Small lives of quiet promise and whispered dignity are often the real page turners.

People ask, "But what in the world would someone like me write about?"

There are stories every where. And you never know who is harboring a best seller behind their public façade. That cashier at the local Wal-Mart, the front desk girl at the dentist's office, the man at Starbucks that you see every day at the same time, in the same spot. They all have stories.

Look, listen, SEE and HEAR...and then...

Just write. The story will reveal itself; yours or someone else's.

People are very much like books. Someone just needs to open us up and start turning pages.
