What?! Three entries three days in a row?

Yep...I guess I've just been doing a lot of thinking lately. I was thinking earlier today about the highest compliment someone could give me. I love asking people what the highest compliment anyone could give them is because I think it shows a lot about the person and what's important to them. Anyway, if someone asks me that question, I usually say genuine. It means a lot to me when someone tells me I'm genuine, especially since I strive so hard to be. I also think it would be a high compliment if someone told me I was really in touch with my feelings. I'm not sure who would actually say that, but let me try to explain what I mean. It's really important to me to know what my feelings are. If I can't figure it out, I have to talk to someone until I understand what I'm feeling and why, and I can articulate it. It seems to me that once you understand your feelings, you have more control over your thoughts and attitude. By being able to understand what I'm feeling, it helps me better relate to the feelings of others.

Also, if I'm sensitive to my own feelings, I can better separate them from the feelings of the Spirit and know how to act appropriately. For example, if I know what I'm feeling is coming from my own thoughts, then I can control them and choose whether or not to act. If I know what I'm feeling is the Spirit, then I can act on it without delay.
