Howdy, 

Call the Midwife is my show for when my husband is out of town--be it for an evening, a weekend, or a business trip. There are 12 seasons spanning from the mid 1950s and into the late 1960s.  

I love that it started out by being based on a real woman's life in the East End of London.  Since the first few seasons, it has definitely moved from her story to the story of East London and its people.  

But sometimes I think what would my story look like on screen?  Do I have a story that is interesting at all? 

And you know, it wasn't that Nurse Jenny Lee had a particularly interesting life story.  It was all the people in her life.  Each of their stories intersected with hers.

I'm not sure how to transition from my binge show to this week's activities, but maybe when we are out with our kids, we can see the people around us and think about their stories.  Or see our kids as their own people and wonder how they will tell their stories.  Or we can see the story of our day as something beautiful even though it's a lot of work.

I don't know.  What do you think?
