tasting :: steamed lentils and beets with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
hearing :: fox confessor brings the flood and blitzen trapper.
smelling :: the change from the heater in the morning to the air conditioner in the afternoon.
seeing :: the sidewalk drawing above in front of my house. a sweet note from the neighborhood kids.
feeling :: relief our last bit of adoption paperwork has been sent off , gratitude for the wide open weekend and proud of myself for slogging through report cards friday afternoon instead of having that albatross hanging around all weekend.
wishing/hoping :: everyone experiences some space for absolutely nothing this weekend.

Well, isn’t that the sweetest thing! Here’s a quickie on my senses for today:
tasting – the yummiest grilled cheese sandwich: made with Ezekiel bread, ghee, and raw sharp cheddar
hearing – peace and quiet — shut the bedroom door and shut out the sound of the TV
smelling – a pumpkin mask, then an aloe mask, then a cucumber mask, all from my amazing facial this morning
seeing – a hell of a lot of housework that needs to be tackled
feeling – stiff and creaky after a week of lingering stress
wishing/hoping – for exactly what you said — space for nothingness
@leili:
rocking that grilled cheese – go girl!
doors are friends. so are earplugs when necessary (like at work when the kids are working together)
so happy the facial happened – at home or a salon?
2 chicks with broomsticks = best money i spend every month
hope the yoga nap helped
did you find some quiet space?
