I think that I am a thinker because I cannot feel that I am a feeler.
Even when I'm going through tough emotional times, I try to think my way through it, or out of it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But it frustrates me when I would like to think my way out of my feelings and it doesn't work. I can analyze all I want about why I feel sad or why I feel frustrated, but if I don't connect with my feelings, it is so difficult to move beyond my thoughts.
Sometimes being so analytical makes it difficult for me to sympathize. I try to think of the right words to say or the right things to do, but what is right when you can't even feel a hint of what the other person is feeling?
Maybe I'm just sailing through some rough waters right now and feeling like I'll either sink or swim.
I hope . . . that the Joy of the Lord would be my Strength.

darling, you're in my prayers....there are lots of thing I cannot do...including comforting my own daughter...but trust that God is there for you no matter what....
Love you all the time,
mom
A great thinker is also an excellent athlete, so when you feel stuck and numb, go for walk or jog for miles. Plato and his follower were great walker.
I think that's the spirit of Olympic start!
