We all have favorite personal stories that we share over-and-over with people and that make annual rotations in our heads.
I wonder what the ones we hold on dear to say about us ... is it/would it be worth it to analyze them or is it best to just let them go ...
If we were to analyze the favorite story of another ... could it/would it help us to help them/understand them better in some way?
I can catch myself in a story. Say, "Oh, I'm sure you've heard this before ..." and then continue to tell it anyway because it may have a different relevance to what we are talking about.
But, I doubt it :)
This is going to be something that I listen to for a while. See what comes up and into the mix and then I shall report back ... if it is relevant ;] ... and if I remember ;]
I n the meantime ... what are some of your most repeated stories?
