I've been keenly aware of my senses this weekend. I am always taking in sights and smells, sounds and feelings around me and savoring them, but this weekend they all seemed more intense. It's life at it's richest.
The scent of rosemary on my fingertips long after passing it at the farmers' market
The feeling of a sweet little Boston Terrier licking my face
The salty squeek of fresh cheese curds on my teeth
The smell of the rain and freshly cut grass
The bumps on my bottom and feet caused by Cadbury bouncing around under my chair
The goosebumps on my arms as I watch childhood sweethearts get married 15 years later
The quiet of the house in the morning when D is at Grandma's
The taste of cheese omelets, biscuits and bloody marys at the bar for breakfast
The way the light filters through the window, capturing Captain Nemo's silouette
The sweat dripping down the side of John's drink, making a puddle on the table.
The vibration of Leonardo's purr on my lap
The tickling of the tips of my wet hair on the small of my back
The way the light filters through beautiful stained glass
The heat of my son's feverish forehead as he snuggles against my chest
The softness of his cheek as I stroke it
The sound of his breath as he sleeps
The clickety click of the keys as I type this
The world is beautiful, powerful and rich. I am happy to be alive.
I'm happy because you're so happy. :)

Life is full of beauty, most of of it hidden in everyday life. It's a rare gift to be able to see it. Bravo to you!
ReplyDeleteAh, the feel of a child's skin as you stroke their face. There's nothing as soft or innocent. Then there's the smile you get from your kid as you do it.
ReplyDeleteLife is good when you take time to enjoy the simple things. Glad you had a better weekend.

ReplyDeleteSadly, I didn't get very far into the list. I misread "cheese curds" as "salty squeak of turds."
ReplyDeletemy apologies.
