a way to capture the senses of each week…
tasting :: this incredible ricotta, spinach, and bulgur pasta dish a Circle de Luz board member made for this week’s dinner meeting. Yum.
hearing :: this gorgeous tune
smelling :: If I am totally honest, wet dog. It’s a grey, wet day here and Lola is laying at my feet in the sugar shack.
seeing :: beautiful hello and red leaves.
feeling :: so happy that these intense, busy two weeks have wrapped up.
wishing/hoping :: for just free, unfettered time
What about you? What were your sensational experiences this week? Please tell me all about it!
This post was inspired by Teacher Goes Back to School who was inspired by Pink of Perfection’s Five Sense Friday.
This is such a great activity for reducing stress – a strategy I have been using if my anxiety starts to ramp up. I find it helps me to slow everything back down again and stop my thoughts from racing off in directions I don’t want them to go.
Taste: sadly mine is only Sunday night fare – toasted cheese sandwich and coke zero
Hearing: two of my children playing in the next room. David Attenborough on the tv.
Smelling: nothing much, perhaps the toasted sandwich, but that’s about all. But the air is fresh and cool.
Seeing: my middle child and husband on the couch together watching the doco. Plants on the deck gently moving in the breeze
Feeling: quite amazed at the amount of coordinating of family and events I have managed this weekend without a hitch and wondering just how much I would be capable of if I was working without the constant distraction of my eating disorder
wishing/hoping: for my hard work to start paying off in an improvement in my feeling of overall health and energy.
What a great observation, PJ. It is a very grounding activity. Especially loved the observation of how much you are capable of… I hope you appropriately relish and celebrate that. Happy week, sweet friend!
