Katie's Blog: I'm Just Sayin . . .: Day 17 - Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

Quotes I Live By

“There are cycles of good and bad times, ups and downs, periods of joy and sadness, and times of plenty as well as scarcity. When our lives turn in an unanticipated and undesirable direction, sometimes we experience stress and anxiety. One of the challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and strains of life to get the better of us—to endure the varied seasons of life while remaining positive, even optimistic. Perhaps when difficulties and challenges strike, we should have these hopeful words of Robert Browning etched in our minds: 'The best is yet to be'"--L. Tom Perry

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us . . . If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."
--President Gordon B. Hinckley

"God the Eternal Father did not give [the] first great commandment because He needs us to love Him. His power and glory are not diminished should we disregard, deny or even defile His name. His influence and dominion extend through time and space independent of our acceptance, approval or admiration. . . No, God does not need us to love Him. But oh, how we need to love God! . . . For what we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who are--and who we will become." --President Uchtdorf

Day 17 - Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

Day 17 - Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

I thought about skipping this day as well since I can't really think of anyone that I want to switch lives with. I've thought of celebrities, friends, family, etc., and while there are many people I know (or know of) that have wonderful lives that anyone could certainly be envious of, I still don't know if I'd want to switch. Everyone has their insecurities and struggles in life, and I'm not sure if I'd want to experience what someone else is going through underneath their outward appearance. Who knows if I could handle it! haha. Just kidding. It would be interesting to see how others think and view the world. I think I'd like to switch places with someone really tall, just so I can know what it feels like not to have stand on my tippy toes when I'm standing behind some tall person, or crane my neck to see something in classes or church. Who knows. It would be fun to switch with just about anyone, because, it's just for a day, right?
