I have a secret. It’s embarrassing when I am caught, and I discover someone is listening. Talking to myself, in my head, and aloud is a normal occurrence. I assure you, my conversations are rather mundane. Where is my phone? Did I pay the bill? Should I buy lemons at the grocery store? Who is knocking on my front door? Why did I come into this room? Those are typical topics I explore almost daily.
Late at night when the house is finally silent, the questions fade, and everything grows quiet. The voice changes, and I know my evening adventure is about to begin. I have heard this voice since I was a child. It has told me calming bedtime stories, created imaginary characters, and handed me the key to fantastical worlds. It is my trusted companion. Together we work through complex issues and create ingenious solutions for everyday problems. I write the tales I tell myself and share them with my friends.
What stories will you tell yourself today?

From age 10 into my adulthood I told myself a story at bed time. It would pick up where the previous day left off when I fell asleep. I’ve often wondered how common this is.

Good question, Jeff. I normally get odd looks from others when I admit my addiction to my personal bedtime stories. We are not alone it seems

This is terrific! I’m not sure my voice is nearly so helpful. Your voice and your voice seem to accomplish a great deal together!

On a good day that voice is very helpful. Other times not so much. I’ll take the good with the bad. 😊
