As I count my blessings this Christmas, I am grateful to the readers of A Storied Career that have made the blog’s renaissance so worthwhile. While A Storied Career is well on its way to completing its fourth year, it really has been only since Feb. 1 of this year that it came to life. Before making the commitment to daily blogging this year, I blogged in spurts.

This year, I have faithfully blogged daily, built a small but loyal audience of readers, added significantly to the blog, and started a satisfying series of Q&As with some of the legends of the storytelling movement.

The story of this blog’s resurgence gives me great joy this Christmas.

I hope all my readers and visitors are also experiencing joy, peace, and love at this time of year, whether you celebrate Christmas, another holiday, or no holiday.

Finally, I can’t help noticing that the animation that accompanies this entry tells a little story.
