Storytellers’ Topic for May 2019 

“Lost and Found” (yes, this is a repeat!)

Did you ever lose something? Well, of course; that happens all the time: Where did I put my glasses? or Where did I park the car?

This month’s topic deals with more important kinds of losses. Think of a time when you couldn’t find something that was really important to you. Here’s a personal one: Where did I store my wedding dress? (This is NOT the one I’m going to write about, however.)

Set the stage:

What was the item?

Why was it important to you?

When/how did you discover it was missing?

How did the loss make you feel?

What did you do?

When/how did you find the missing item?

How did you react the discovery?

What, if anything, did you learn for the experience?
