Every so often, I have a flash of what life would be like without one of my senses. And so I give thanks for my five functioning faculties.
I am grateful for my sense of hearing because of the following…
The soprano song of a violin. The passionate pounding of a piano. A talented vocalist. The morning call of a Collared Dove. A baby’s laughter. Howling wind. Hammering rain. Thundering waves.
I am blessed with the sense of sight because I get to see…
Fairy lights. Ballet. A handsome man in a tight T-shirt. The explosion of colour that a sunset brings. A night sky crowded with stars. The ocean. The dimple of a smile. Flowers and foreign lands.
My sense of smell allows me to enjoy…
Coffee, cut grass, and Christmas trees. Sunscreen and spices and incense. Baby smells of Sudocrem and innocence. The whiff of a cooking dinner when I come home after a long day.
My sense of taste gives me the pleasure of…
Kisses. A mug of tea made by somebody else. A glass of juice after a hard night’s drinking. Gyros and Greek salads. Chips from a brown paper bag. A home-cooked meal following a day in the mountains. Picnics.
Without my sense of touch, I would be unable to appreciate…
A tight embrace. The warmth of an open fire. Sun on skin. A welcome breeze. Skinny dipping. A lover on my neck.

Very sensible thinking. I plan to wear tighter tee shirts.
Nice one.
