Story Telling.....



For years and years (seriously), I have been interested in Story Tellers.  I LOVE to hear a good story told with animation and emotion.  I want to be a story teller!!

But - I am a very uncomfortable public speaker.  Sweaty hands, shaky voice, weak knees....what makes me think I could be a story teller?!!

Maybe that's why I enjoy blogging.... I 'sort of' tell a story most every day.  I admire authors.  I am a voracious reader (for entertainment) and sometimes think how awesome it would be to write a story.  But - if I just got into a group of story tellers, memorized a really entertaining story I could get lost in telling..... 

What started me thinking about this (again) was a newsletter I got in my email today.  Here is the link:  http://www.dailygood.org/view.php?sid=394

I'm 61 years old.  I really don't think I'll ever get around to doing this, but I can keep thinking about it, anyway.

Are any of you story tellers?  I know a few of my blogging friends are real authors - but do any of you practice the art of story telling?  I'd love to hear about it.  Encourage me!!

I'm so glad it's Friday!!  We are going to try a new restaurant for our evening Lenten fish dinner.  We are going to a place called Brits (English Fish & Chips), and they open on Fridays during Lent, for a fish fry.  Other times, they are only open for breakfast and lunch.  A friend told us it is really good, so we'll go see.  I hope it is better than the Knights of Columbus dinner, which was a bit lacking last week (though good the week before).  

Wishing you a good Saturday!!  Peace, love & hugs.
