Despite my diligence in speech therapy, it is still hard to talk and even harder to be heard. It has been interesting how many things I think but leave unsaid. Most of things that I don’t say, really didn’t need to be said. They weren’t crucial, or necessarily unique or funny or additive to the conversation. Even when my vocal abilities return, I should be more judicious about what I choose to say. I’m afraid that the old axiom that “God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason” ironically fell on deaf ears with me because I was too busy talking!
But there are times when the challenge does make me a little sad. I’ve written many times about my love of singing Hymns and this continues to be a cost each Sunday. And today a friend called that I haven’t spoken with in several months. It was nice to hear from him, and I really wanted to talk to him about several things, but he could barely hear me despite my best efforts, so I had to truncate the call earlier than I would have liked.
I am glad that I still have my digital voice here!

We are too!
Hey Dave, It was a pleasure for me just to know you were on the other line, even though you didn't say much. It was fun to just think about the great times in the past in silence. Love you man.
