Sunday Select A Sense
Our five senses are: smell, touch, sight, taste and
hearing. And I would venture to say that
most of us take them for granted. How
often do we really stop and savor something we are eating? How often do we really listen to the varied
and ever-changing sounds around us? I
think perhaps we appreciate our vision more than the other senses, when we are
riveted by a beautiful sunset, or a spectacular pas de deux.
Today I suggest picking one of the senses and focusing on
that particular one all day. If you
choose touch, be aware of the sensations when you touch a soft sweater, a
smooth pebble, or just the feeling you get from pulling on a brand-new sock.
If you choose smell, take a walk and notice all the scents
that surround you, and how they change as you pass by a rose bush, a freshly
mowed lawn, or a coffee shop!
You get the idea.
Pick one a day and you will heighten your appreciation for the world –
and the people - that surround you.
