Counting on … day 34

3rd February 2024

As well as sight, we can find pleasure by taking time to enjoy our other senses. Spend a few minutes listening. What can you hear? Hopefully bird song, or children laughing, people chatting ….. Or make a real cup of coffee and spend time savouring first the smell of the beans and then of the coffee. Or take time to really taste a square of chocolate, allowing it to melt in your mouth and savour its taste. Or spend a few moments exploring your surroundings by touch. You might simply close your eyes and use your fingers to explore the different textures of your clothes. Or maybe walk barefoot in garden?
