  "textContent": "_Friday, August 22, 2025_\n\nGood morning, The Wonder Fell Way.\n\nWhat more to say?\n\nHello is always a good start. O/\n\nHope all's well.\n\nOn with our show...\n\n...\n\nTransition Day, something in the air.\n\nThe sometimes steady wind claps oak leaves together like hands cheering on a new air conditioner.\n\nA strong sign of Autumn.\n\nSweatshirt hoodies, long-sleeve stay warm from the wind... flannel weather, kaleidoscopic foliage fest on the way weather.\n\nGet a poet talking about the weather and it rains and it pours metaphors.\n\nThere's always something going on with the world for a juxtaposition.\n\nIt's the same in stories as it is with your life.\n\nThere are always two major characters in any story. Not a Hero and a Villain, a Hero and The World.\n\nThe story's scenery has its own character arc that coincides with its protagonist.\n\nThe quality of the hero's and world's stories determines the quality of, and success of, every story.\n\nWriter's have rules and ways up every _wazoo_ to help create strong character arcs, yet it's never taught (till now) to apply those teachings to The World of the story itself.\n\nThe whole World is an extended metaphorical reflection of what's happening with the Hero.\n\nJust like your own life.\n\nYour relationships to everything in your life, your world if you will, defines your life.\n\nChange what something means to you and you change its place in your story.\n\nThe props in our life we focus on are the things that affect the story of our lives the most.\n\nWe bring in more of what we build.\n\nWe get what we give.\n\nAnd what we always give is a quality of relationship.\n\nGive something your gratitude and more relationships worth being grateful for show-up.\n\nIt's one reason it's so important to love something. It brings more things to love back to you.\n\nCareful though, it works for negative feelings, too.\n\nIf you're focused on your dislike of a thing, well... you get what you give.\n\nThis is why it's so important we start to emphasize what is good about us.\n\nAll this bad news only creates and invites more bad news.\n\n> \"We can't just wish it away, Wynn.\"\n> -Concerned Reader.\n\nTrue. But we can focus on the opportunity to heal it, to not shrug our shoulders, make a lewd sarcastic comment, but to offer a solution from a place of concern.\n\nGood news breeds good news.\n\n_The good news about bad news is we can do something about it._\n\nIt's time to be heroes of our lives, stop focusing on the unfairness of things, start acting to improve them in a spirit of a shared simple morality rooted in goodwill.\n\nTake care, give well, receive well and make wonderful this wonderful day.\n\n#### +he Ghos+\n\nWynn\n\nBrought to you by the emoji of the day: ⏳ __hourglass_flowing_sand__\n\nArchaic Slab\n\nPromptly Spoke: __Create an image of a heroine with their arm around a globe of the world in the style of magical abstract impressionist Dungeon and Dragon artwork.__\n\nImage courtesy of Google Gemini and +he Ghos+, August 2025Image courtesy of Ms. Copilot (GPT-4o) and +he Ghos+, August 2025Image courtesy of Grok and +he Ghos+, August 2025Image courtesy of Ms. Copilot (DALL-E-3) and +he Ghos+, August 2025",
