Hi all,
I am sorry that I have not posted in a while, I have been off on spring break, I played and basked in the warmth of Southern Utah, in St George. Where I went biking, hiking, shopping and most of all I just relaxed.
For the last little while, I was thinking of those people in this world that have a way with words, they can say something and it just flows in a positive way. I feel sometimes my sentences are short and choppy, at other times I feel that I am learning the English (American) language all over again. Other times, I feel I make a point but my words didn't, convey exactly what I was trying to say.
The way with words is a talent that I am wanting to develop, which means expanding my vocabulary and making a conscious effort to myself to try and avoid short and choppy sentences. Instead, I need to learn to incorporate, long and what I will call fulfilled sentences. Ones in which, what I am conveying with the world is descriptive and flowing and it is exactly what I want to say.
I find at times, what holds me back is, I know exactly what I want to say, but I have an overwhelming sense of fear which holds me back. Then my brain goes blank and the words I wanted to say run from me, and I at times am to scared to go and catch them to say what I am feeling so instead I find myself, being quiet and reserved on the outside, but on the inside pleading with myself to find the words to say and pleading with the words to come so I don't sound unintelligent, but when the words do not come I feel like an Idiot.
Sometimes I wonder why I wasn't given the talent of words, like Jane Austin, Dr. Seuss, Emily Dickson, Shakespeare, Charles dickens or my friend Stephanie or Chelsee but, for whatever reason I wasn't. I do enjoy a good book and I love learning about the world. I just wish I could express my love for what I am learning in clear sentences.
What made me start to think of this was a list of 30 things which Dr. Seuss books can teach us, I read through this list and then it hit me, why am I not more clever with my words and the way I say things. I will say I am getting better at it, but don't ever put me on the spot and expect great thoughts to flow from my lips, because I will probably just stand there and look like a fool.
I need to get back to studying but before I do, I just want to share the list of things Dr. Seuss has taught all of us.
As always, Thanks for reading!
