Variations on a theme.

     It's all been done before. I often feel like I'm going through a lot of things alone. Or feel like my story is original. Come on. Life's complicated, the details are always a little bit different. But everything is just a variation on a theme.

     Today, I had one of the best conversations I've had in a long time. A very long time. The more I shared, and the more she shared, and the more I remembered of sharing with others, the more it came back to me that there is really nothing that original about my story. Each piece of my story has happened a thousand times.

     That's not lame. That's great news. Excellent news. It means we have support. We have shared resources and shared wisdom. And if we are at the same part of our story, well then, we have a terrific opportunity to work through this story together.
