Stories

Stories, really good stories. I love stories. Stories from my childhood, stories from my kids growing up, stories from the past of all kinds.

But really good stories are not the ones I write down. They don't get repeated to friends. The really good stories are the ones I tell myself. I tell myself these in the dark of night when my brain can't quite stop enough for sleep to surface.

I love these stories, because sometimes I realize they might be all I have left of my life. I would hate to get to the end of my life and have realized I quit living too soon.
