To Relive My First Word

All my life I have always stammered but looking back through the years there's been in my mind that first word this has haunted me considering the fear Throughout life through the good and bad I've always wondered what was the word that started me off on my downward spiral wishing I could have soured like a bird Sometimes, I wonder if I had known then what I know now about my stammer how to relax, ease stress, breathe right these may have helped keep me calmer That first word whether short or long set off my lifelong struggle to speak making my tongue so full of anxiety sometimes wonder what if I spoke Greek! But in life, you can't look back nothing can be changed of the past so go forward in the spirit of the Lord knowing God's with you no matter the task

We all struggle with something, at some point in our lives. Looking back is okay to see what we may need help with, but moving forward is always best. Your writing is beautiful my dear sweet friend. So uplifting. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Speaking can catch a person off guard. As for myself, writing comes easier than speaking. I wonder if people who tend to chuckle before they speak, are buying a little time to think.

What a wonderful write. We all need to overcome something as a child. Oh yes, "if I had known then what I know now." Great words many have said. We cannot change the past, only learn from it. Have a blessed day writing away.............
