Good morning. Before we read stories I wanted to share with you the reason stories are so important. Have you ever experienced a day that was out of your control from beginning to end? Man, oh man, I have. I have awakened late and discussed it with my cell phone that did not alarm. I then discussed it with the coffee pot that was not prepared the night before while, I poured coffee grounds into the pot itself. I have arrived to work wearing two shoes identical, well almost, only difference was one shoe was black and the other was navy blue. Hiding my feet was not an option. Meetings, all pressure oriented and clients that could not be pleased! Their day was worse than mine. Empathy was my only solution and that did not produce money. I failed to go to the ATM so lunch was a coke and crackers. Finally I am on my way home. The day was as messed up as the grammar in this explanation of why we need stories. But....a glass of wine and a book of fiction can take the edge off. I feel that there will be better things ahead for the next day. Take my day give it to a single Mom and imagine the additional problems that could happen. Depressing!!! But...a glass of wine or a cup of tea with thirty minutes to read a short story of fiction and relaxation is there. Do we need stories? Oh yes we do. People stories, animal stories, ghost stories, and it doesn't matter if the people in the story or the place in the story are also make believe. Just read them and smile because sometimes it is the best relaxation you will find.
