Steven, Very nice to hear from you. I see the Yankees are playing pretty good ball as of late, not sure who I'm rooting for in the playoffs (since I am a Red Sox fan) however I just love watching good baseball... Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding your family and the challenges you have faced. Relationships (any) can be tough. At the end of the day (like you were saying) we can only deal with our own thoughts and our own reactions to those thoughts. We can choose a path of resistance or compassion for those around us (and our thoughts). We can choose to avoid, or accept (our thoughts, ourselves, and those around us). It sounds like you have made some choices to accept stuttering, walk with the thoughts of stuttering (both the good and the challenging thoughts) which is a beautiful way of living (this is called living in the middle way, an old Eastern Philosophy) Congrats Steven, congrats!!!...Thank you again for sharing, have a great day!... Scott
