Brothers and Sisters – Some Things Never Change

I had a treat this past week. I got to spend some time with my brother who I haven’t actually seen for over a year now due to the world we’ve been living in. But we have both been vaccinated, so we got to spend some quality time together.

I was excited to see him and wondered what it would be like. Sure, we’d talked on the phone and texted each other, but it was going to be different, right?

Yes and no. I was surprised at how fast everything fell back into place. We sat down and talked, and talked, and talked. And we also laughed and picked at each other too. It doesn’t matter how old we are, we still have to give each other grief.

Even though we hadn’t been together, we fell into step again. That can been said about a lot of things. Writing as well. I’m always amazed when I ebb and flow when it comes to my writing. I sometimes think I’ll never get a story done and then something clicks for me and I begin seeing the scenes and characters in my head. And I start writing once again.

I might have mentioned this in the past, but BOTH my father and brother are amazing oral storytellers. They can weave a tale and make you laugh as they embellish what happened. I informed them that I have the storyteller gene too, except I turned my imagination into a business! But then I’ve always been a bit of an overachiever…
