Hi Liv,
Poison or married, huh? Wow! Yes that IS something to reflect upon!
Of course you are right. Attractive, eh? Ha, ha! Nice of you to say, but I've never thought of myself as anything other than ordinary. But beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder - so thank God for so many different eyes!
Of course stuttering is an obstacle. Life itself is an obstacle. I've always believed the saying that "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." But some obstacles CAN kill you. Make no mistake about that. Even stuttering can kill you. We had a guy in our chapter here in Dallas commit suicide and left a note saying "Now people will know how much stuttering has hurt me." It was a major tragedy.
But if you FACE your obstacles and learn to deal with them, you WILL be stronger. Weights in the exercise room that are very light will not help make you strong. You've got to lift heavy weights to become strong. And yes, the weights ARE heavy.
You make a very good point Liv.
Great picture of you and Paul the other day! Hope to see you all in Nashville next summer!
Best wishes,
Russ
