A quick update to 'forgetting'

I am in love with words. I write for a living and I hope to continue to write for a living - whether that is writing grants or a novel. I love talking and I love finding the right words. Sometimes I can't even finish telling a story if I don't find just the right word to complete my thoughts. And yes, it is just as annoying of a habit as it sounds. Words are what ground me in my crazy world. They are what calm me down. They are what make me feel alive. When I was a little girl and would see a sunset or sunrise, or a full moon high in the sky, I would always say the same thing, "If I could paint, I would paint that." I am not an artist, but I can paint with words. Beautiful watercolors. I feel like that is slipping away from me and I am scared.
