Friday Reflections

Friday Reflections is all about reflecting on the week by observing our senses.  My hope is that this will be a gentle, easy way to tune into how we are doing and what we are experiencing weekly when journaling in general can feel so daunting.

Now, for this week’s Friday Reflections (with each sense as your inspiration, consider how experiencing it impacted your week).

Here is my sensory round-up for this week:     

tasting ::  vegan rigatoni bolognese, strawberry shortcake, steamed broccoli, yogurt and granola, peanut butter and jelly, celebratory cake

hearing :: sweet, sweet 4 and 5 year old voices singing everything from You’re a Grand Ole Flag to Adios, Amigos, Adios at their preschool graduation.

smelling :: a gorgeous candle over at my aunt’s house for a family dinner.

seeing :: Happy graduate from preschool.  How did he get to be almost five in about a minute?

feeling ::  very grateful for the amazing teachers Happy has had in preschool and the amazing friendships he experienced that have taught him valuable lessons- like how to be kind and include others- for life .

wishing/hoping ::  for a wonderful summer filled with the stillness and distilling, joy and laughter that I crave.  

What about you?  What were your sensational experiences this week?  Please share!
