words

'there's so much that I want to say but the words get in the way.'
ever have that feeling? the more you talk the less sense you make? you try to clarify the meaning and make matters worse. you want to say exactly the right thing and stumble in your thoughts. and your silence is worse than any explanation.
why is it that we have so much trouble expressing ourselves? those feelings deep down that scream to be heard.
as I was sorting through today's quandry. I came across an article that gave me some helpful answers. express yourself!
1. do a lot of reading. learn how others express themselves. look up the words you don't know and use them!
2. do some writing of your own. writing will help you think your thoughts through, organize them. give focus and direction.
3. when you're upset, write a letter. a well worded letter will let you convey your feelings.
4. be mature when you express yourself. show respect to others. sticks and stones.
5. ask questions. expression is done with good interaction.

speak softly. think loudly. love well.
