Since I learned to accept my stuttering better, I can say that I am more comfortable with my speech, Now when I celebrate the Mass in church and am faced with a word that is difficult for me to say. I am able to admit "that's a difficult word," take a breath and try to speak slowly with greater prosody. I use fewer circumlocutions and avoidances than I used to, but in a language that I am not very familiar with, I stutter more. But I also need to be honest with you. I have some days that I have a difficult time "accepting." On those days God seems far away and I feel that the world is against me. It is also difficult to speak. But then I remember that tomorrow is another day!
