There have been many times in my life that I wish I could allow someone else to feel what I'm feeling for only a few minutes just so they can understand what I'm going through. For example, tonight while I folded a huge pile of laundry and my back was hurting, I wished for just a moment that Justin could feel how my back felt so that he understood how painful it was! As it is, he hardly ever has back pain so I don't think he realizes how much it can put me out but this topic has been a thought of mine for several years. Do any of you ever wish this? Just as you would let your mechanic test drive your car to hear the funky noises it makes, wouldn't it be so nice to transfer your symptoms to your doctor so they could understand your ailment for just a moment? Anyway, just some food for thought.
Anyway, things are going well, trying to get in the Christmas spirit but knowing that snow always helps things along. Here's to a good snowstorm soon!!

Yes, I wish that quite frequently, in fact. I think if others could feel what you're feeling, everyone would be nicer and more understanding. Luckily for us, there is one person who has felt what we are feeling and knows exactly how we feel-I'm so grateful for our Savior, truly I am.
I'm sorry your back is hurting, I hope it feels better soon. When my life calms down (if it ever does), I'll come fold your laundry for you!
I knew the Savior comment would come up with this post, and I realize he does know, but sometimes it would be nice to have those closest to you down here on earth understand a bit better!
I agree, the world would be a much better place if we could understand each other better. Kids would know that they really shouldn't push Mommy's buttons right now, we would know when someone just needed a hug. On another thought though, wouldn't it be nice if you could go to your doctor when you felt GOOD and say, "I feel really good today, check whatever my hormones are doing and make me a pill just like it." Wouldn't that be great!
