Inspired to write

About 2-hours ago, as I was waiting for pizza to go, I was hit by two inspiring thoughts.  Before I share them it might help to know that the pizzeria I was at is in the Barbaresco wine region in Piedmont in northern Italy.  After placing my order I went out on their terrace to enjoy the stunning views of the Italian countryside.  And, it was here that I realized that  I am one lucky, lucky guy and that it’s time to start writing again!

Well, not writing per se but story telling.  You see, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not really a writer.  I’m more of a story teller.  I like sharing my experiences through stories that hopefully make the people listening or reading feel like they were right there with me.  That’s always been my goal but now I am just a little more conscious of it.  Let’s blame my new found clarity and inspiration on the beautiful Italian countryside, with perhaps a nod of acknowledgement to the wine.

I feel like, as a very lucky guy, that I have many stories to tell.  Therefore, I’ve reached a point where it doesn’t matter if they are read or heard they still need to be told. 

So, if you are so inclined, I invite you to join in my adventures with Sherry.  I have a list of blog titles that I plan on making my through in the next few weeks.  And, it I can make you feel like you were there as you read each one, then I will have accomplished what I started out to do.  For now, I’m off to enjoy a little more inspiration.

Ciao!!!

  1. Elsewhere I posted a borrowed inspirational thought that seems appropriate here. "Any important accomplishment begins with the decision to try." Try-on, and on, amico.
