You and I have talked about this a lot and I think it does everyone a great disservice.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04339643338071382257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336931173750264195.post-4286646479300560942010-03-15T12:38:16.583-06:002010-03-15T12:38:16.583-06:00Thank you for being willing to share what you are ...Thank you for being willing to share what you are going through.

I find it hard to really get what other people are thinking because I really only know what's going on in my own head and heart. And I think we all sometimes wonder how anybody could possibly think differently or view the world differently than we do.<br />For me personally, it has been helpful to have friends who can call me on some of the things I think that don't quite mesh with their versions of reality. The friends who challenge my thinking, and help me to see things from a different perspective are the ones who help me "reconsider" different realities -- like understanding what it feels like to be single in Relief Society when the lesson is about strengthening marriage and family; or,yes, what my good friend with depression might think about this Ensign article on depression that I just read. But those are the friends I value the most.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350680422969568303noreply@blogger.com
