Telling My Stories and Discovering Your Stories

Do You Wonder ...
11/23/07

Do you wonder where the lady who started this blog wandered off to? Remember sh e always seemed to have so much she wanted to say ...

Sometimes I wonder where she is. But again and still she mostly feels inclined to be quiet.

Tonight much of my quietness comes from pain. I actually have my right hand wrapped up so that i will use it much less. Yes, it's that repetitive motion thing catching up with me. I'm feeling very motivated to just take up audio posts.

But still I wonder what I would tell you. Would I tell you of the things I'm not getting to do? Would I tell you about everything that is on hold -- waiting for other people? Would I dare to dream out loud?

Someone was trying to encourage me the other day: "So? You're hesitating because you're bound to look odd? But you tell me that people already think you are odd. So, why not just revel in your uniqueness?

Now, I have to tell you ... it seems mighty wrong to be approaching fifty and still find myself worrying over how I am perceived.

But that is only part of what keeps me quiet. There is so much I would like to discuss with you ... but I've not yet finished discussions with other people who are more closely involved. It would simply be wrong for others to find out how I feel or think about a joint project by them reading it on my blog.

So I feel intensely boring here. I think shortly though I'll be able to talk about some other things -- provided the hand behaves.

Have fun,
enjoy,
pam

Pam is a Texan living on the Southern fringe of Upstate NY. Today she listened to her neighbor cheer for Texas A&M. No, the neighbor is native New Yorker. She graduated from there. Yes, she was key to Pam getting our little place to live. No, Pam didn't go to A&M with her. It's a really long story.

I enjoy your comments. And I want you to enjoy reading each other's comments. To that end purpose, I moderate comments. If you're impatient, MeeboMe.

Commenting Ideas
  • If you do not have a blog or site, skip the "web site" line, pull a name or "handle" out of your head, write a note, push the button. (No excuses!)
  • If this entry reminds you of a story of a similar place in time in your life, you are welcome to tell your story.
  • If you discover your story is taking more than 3 or 4 paragraphs (and if you have a place on the web for your writings), I will not be insulted if you take your story back and finish it at your own site. But then I will be disappointed if you don't come back and leave me a summary of your story and a link -- in the comments.
  • If you have already written a story about a similar place in time, please feel free to leave a summary and a link.
  • It's never too late to make a comment or tell a story.

yeah, I wonder. I wondered when I read this. I got "curiouser and curiouser" about the things which are silent at the moment, then I wondered even more because you went into hiding again after writing this. Meanwhile, I kick myself because I barely commented through this November bounty of posts.

I'm thinking about you.

~ Thanks Dear! I've learned a few things in the last weeks. First, I didn't follow my daughter's blogging all the way through but last night I got to go catch up. Her posts are short, little bitty glimpses into who she is. I enjoyed them even though we often IM throughout the day ... even though I think I know this girl.

When she writes, she reveals the common threads of young wives and young women and artists of all ages. When she writes she reveals the uniqueness of who she is and how she sees the world. I do not want her to stop.

So, why do I dismiss my own short posts? I do not know.

After I stopped for a bit, I realized I was starting to do IT again. IT ... that thing we do when we look at life as an opportunity to discover something to write about -- something to share with others. That is a very good feeling.

    Why does this Site Exist?

    My website is largely my memoir ... my musings, photos, encounters, life's stories.

    But what really thrills me is that when I let go of my stories, it's like sending out little sail boats out on expeditions. Very often they come back to me filled with other people's stories. Continue...
