2-25-2010 Part 1

I have been trying to slow down and take time to notice all the little things around me. If I were to go blind tomorrow what would I miss seeing? Or if I were to go deaf in a week what would I miss hearing? I know for a fact that I take alot for granted in my life. That there are the obvious people or things that I would miss. But the ever so subtle fancies I have need to be announced or recognized as well. I know I have written about this before but I have found myself in the same situation where life seems to take over and you forget to take a step back and notice everything. The smell, the sight, the feel, the emotion of everyday living.



Particular Smells:
The smell of our yard after Sean has cut the grass.

The way the bathroom smells after someone takes a shower.

When the dryer is on and the kitchen smells like warm cotton.

The way my pillow cases smell like shampoo from countless nights of falling asleep with wet hair.

The Puppy's smell after he has a bath and smells like a woman. Boy I did him wrong.

When my brother goes to work and sprays "Curve" on before he leaves. The only time I ever see him use it.

The smell of clothes when you hang them to dry.

Vanilla lipsmacker.

The man you love.

The smell of white tea or vanilla tea.

The way the kitchen smells when you are making Mexican wedding cookies.

The smell of warm tequila.

Particular Visions:

I’d miss being able to see my family's faces when I actually show up at a family function.

The way my Mom looks when she's talking about us AKA her kids.

The Puppy all curled up under the covers in the morning.

My co-worker Brian under his desk making an info tape.

A man’s arms wrapped around you in bed.

All the baby cousins and how they change each time you see them.
