Pick one of your five senses to focus on each day. Take note of how many gifts come to you via that single port of entry. Write about this experience.
I'm choosing my sense of touch first. I thought about this a while ago and how awful it would be if I were to lose my sense of touch. To never feel anything physical again would be horrible. To not feel my daughters hugs and kisses, a warm shower, the cool autumn breeze. I am truly grateful for the gift of touch.
Second would be hearing. To never hear my kids laugh or cry, a conversation with my Grandma, a thunderstorm, or music again would be devastating.
Next would be smell. If any of you have ever held a freshly bathed baby you know what I mean. To not smell dinner in the oven, rain, clean laundry, that would be a sad, sad day.
Then it would have to be sight. I chose this one as the fourth because if you have most of your other senses you can imagine all the wonderful things you can't see. And who knows maybe your imagination would paint a prettier picture.
Last would be taste. Think of how much weight I could lose if nothing tasted good. But, seriously. I love food, and to never have tasted my dad's roast beef, my mom's chocolate zucchini bread, and the orange juice that my Grandma Terry always had in her refrigerator. I would not have all of those great memories with out my sense of taste.
