Change

It’s a six letter, four letter word.

Change, it’s a scary six letter word. When did I move past four-letter words. Really? Life wasn’t complicated with enough with four-letter words.

Four-letter words

I mean, seriously. WORK. It means freedom to a teenager. As an adult, it’s, well, work. When did work become that kind of four letter word?

Of course there are the ‘fun’ four-letter words. Most of them are visible on TV these days. But It made life difficult for George Carlin.

Like most comedians, the man had interesting insights. This time he was a little ahead of his time.

Words, that held great power at one age, often become humorous reminders of past moments of discomfort.

This is where someone whispers that’s change!

But we aren’t here to talk about four-letter words. We are here to talk about six letter words.

It’s really about one specific six letter word
