Hello fellow bloggers! I again invite you to take a peek at another ROAMcare post, Tell me a story
Much of what we know is from stories told to us by storytellers. Often truth is optional. When you become the storyteller, you owe those looking to learn from you an honest story.
Tell me a story

When you take a novel from your bookshelf you expect a work of fiction. Whether the latest Grisham or a classic Tolstoy, the common ground is that the story is just a story.
Our lives are not a work of fiction, yet we still enjoy a good story, and many of us enjoy hearing and telling tales from “back in the day.” We recognize much of the remembrance includes a little exaggeration and we are okay with that.
Stories are much more than just the retelling of family lore or to entertain and enjoy. We learn from stories.

I love this post and caution about ‘modern storytellers’, Michael. Especially this:
“Today’s listener cannot always see the gleam in the storyteller’s eye to measure the teller’s veracity. Today people take what is put before them as fact, even if the tale is far removed from truth.” So perfectly put!
And thank you for the note on the ROAMcare site about comments. I’ve had trouble posting comments there – they just won’t stick. I thought maybe it was just me. Appreciate you! 🥰
Thank you Vicki. Your comments mean a lot to me to let me know that sometimes I can burble out something coherent. But only with help. And with varying levels of eye gleam!
Ah…you’re welcome! I always look forward to your posts! 🥰
