1. God
2. Beverlee – what a difference she has made, and helping me acknowledge how far I’ve come, by willing to accept help
3. Grateful people
4. Christa’s amazing and enticing new site
5. I always enjoy talking to Charles on the phone, his warmth and laughter and rich southern accent
6. Compassion
7. Feeling sad about changing plans with David and telling him I needed to because of another obligation. OK dad, he said, but I hope it doesn’t turn out to be a Cat’s in the Cradle type of thing. Evidently he’s discovered Harry Chapin.
8. Fall colors and clouds
9. Story within a story
10. Neither
David is so wise! And he has managed to rise about the pull of vapid pop music to appreciate real lyrical storytellers!! Bravo!
Christa’s site is storytelling too! I could see students viewing the pictures and then picking one to free write…do they still do free writing? or is it only test prep these days?
Anywho…thank you for your list, Garrett! :)
