A Season of Thanksgiving: Intro & The Five Senses
November has arrived and has peaked my appreciation meter. I’ve found that counting my blessings brings healing. It also brings a better perspective on life and points my thoughts toward those things that are good, lovely and worthy of thinking of. In light of that, I will be posting several blog entries about random things I’m grateful for during the month of November. It won’t be an all encompassing list as I think it would be impossible to mention every single blessing in my life. Instead, it will be those blessings that are at the forefront of my mind for whatever reason. I hope you’ll take some time this month to count your blessings as well. Let's get started!The Five Senses
I’m so thankful to have the ability to experience all five senses: seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and feeling. Have you ever stopped to think about those things? They make life so much more enjoyable. I’m thankful I can see brilliant sunrises and sunsets. I’m thankful I can hear my loved ones voices and a variety of music. I’m thankful I can smell homemade bread baking, scented candles burning, and fresh flowers in bloom. I’m thankful I can taste the downright goodness of anything sweet . Yes, I’m guilty of having a sweet tooth. I also love the taste of different spices mingled together to create a flavorful dish that ends up bursting in my mouth. I’m thankful I can feel the softness of baby’s skin and a hug from someone I love. These senses are all gifts…ones I don’t want to take for granted. In fact, I think I’ll go enjoy the tastiness of some homemade pizza right now and thank God for the ability to experience its flavor with every bite!
