It feels good to get back into my storytelling groove. I have two new stories from West Virginia's history that have been going very well, and I have pulled out some that have not been on my list for a while. Stories seem to gain a freshness when they are left to rest for a while; perhaps time to rest brings more richness and brighter images and the stories seem to have a new energy.
I worked on calls today, lining up summer programs, following up on other storytelling projects and tying up loose ends. It's been a productive day, lots of multitasking and mess but in the end a lot got done.
Now I am off to bed to be fresh for an early start tomorrow. I'll leave you with some pics of this evening's beautiful sunset, a sign, I hope, of a good day to come.

Be safe on the road! I think you're busier now than when you were working!
ReplyDeleteWas this sunset last night? My son noticed it and we both ran outside and oohed and ahed:) Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI am, Mamabug, and I didn't think that was possible. But this is the kind of busy I thrive on--creative things for the most part, lots of variety and opportunities to try new things :)
ReplyDeleteYes it was, Diane; I did the same thing--saw the orange-pink glow coming in the windows and ran outside jacketless and in my slippers to take pictures. I wanted to go up on top of the ridge but I was afraid it would be gone by the time I got up there. It was breath-taking.
ReplyDeleteThursday morning southern Iowa had an awesome sunrise. Your pics are awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt just occurred to me that my paternal grandmother was a story teller, too. Not consciously, but it was part of her. And people used to ask her to tell them at various events.
ReplyDeleteHer voice was magic.
