FAVORITE SENSATIONS

I have been thinking lately about some of my favorite sensations and thought I might share some of them with you. One of my favorites is a freshly made bed with cotton sheets and down mattress topper and comforter. I can really get comfortable in that. The freshness lasts for about 3 days. Yes, even in Florida the down is wonderful.

Then there is the smell of freshly baking bread in the kitchen which has not happened in my house for a long time, but every time I think about it I tell myself, "Next winter." Winter is coming. Of course pumpkin pie is great too and I do make that at holiday time every year.

Visually I really enjoy a bright full moon and the sun reflecting on rippling water--preferably the gulf or the ocean or a big lake will do.

I love the taste of hot tea after arising and hot chocolate on a cool evening. Then there is the sensation of good dark chocolate melting on the tongue while drinking hot coffee with cream. MMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!

My kitty, Willow, has a way of nuzzling my neck sometimes when I'm awakening or else when I am going to sleep that makes me feel warm and fuzzy. An aside to this is that we had The Blessing of the Animals at church last Saturday which was St. Francis day. I couldn't take Willow because her behavior can be so rotten and unpredictable. I figured she would put up a big fuss so I think that she will just have to remain a heathen.

It wouldn't surprise most of you that the sensation of listening to wonderful musc is very special to me. I also really like the sound of rain on my metal roof. It might surprise you that I enjoy the sound of thunder--especially the thunder that echoes as it rolls up the Ohio River valley. It sounds like it will never stop.

I could go on and on. It is hard not to keep conjuring up special sensations. Baby kisses, candy kisses, kissy face. I'm out of here.
