Feeling vs. Thinking

I guess I should clarify why I would call my blog "The way I FEEL it".
    A few years ago,  actually it was about 6, I found out that my 2nd child had a mild form of Autism. It is called Aspergers.  (It is not listed in my dictionary, and yes, that is the way it is spelled) So, as I began my quest to learn everything there is to know about Autism Spectrum disorders, (I do not like the term "disorder") I ran across a woman by the name Of Temple Grandin. Actually she is known as DR. Temple Grandin, and she has Autism. She also happens to be brilliant and she has written many books on Autism and Animal Behavior . That is a whole other post, (about the animal behavior part) but the autism part is the here and now.....and forever. :)
Dr. Grandin wrote a book called "the way I SEE it", because she is a visual thinker. So, that is the reason I named my blog "The way I FEEL it". I feel everything. MY husband tells me I need to think a little more. But that for me, is easier said than done. I don't think about things as easily as I feel them. I mean everything, I feel everything. There are times in my life when I feel like an open wound. It is unpleasant at times and as I grow older and gain more life experience, I have learned to still feel, but not allow it to consume me. It is daily work for me. One of the reasons my husband fell in love with me is because I feel so deeply and I feel about everything.
I have had many tell me I am too sensitive, I am too emotional, I need to not be that way because it is unhealthy. But really, I believe they think it is unhealthy because maybe they do not understand me, and it is easier to just label someone than take the time to understand. That is ok, they don't have to, I have nothing against that. But they should leave me be. I make progress in things that I want to make progress in because of the way I "Feel" and how deeply I feel things. That is how I was made up, and if I had to choose, I would not change a thing.
