thanks for the blogs

isn't it strange (and sometimes a wee bit disconcerting) when a stranger approaches you
in a hospital, at a bus stop, or in line at a store, and divulges intimate details of their lives?

yet, we all have stories to tell.

despite all of our differences, there's an incredible commonality to our lives and a sense that we all lead singular (unique) lives.

just when i think that my story has been told.
i realize that it hasn't.
just when i think that every story has been told.
i read a book or watch a film and realize the complexity of the human story.

in sharing our lives, in small blogs, we are contributing to a rich tapestry.
some of you are great writers.
some of us fumble.
each voice provides a new pitch, a new layer to the way we see the world.

i am grateful for the opportunity to read and share in so many lives.
thank you for taking a glance at my life.
