Friday Five Senses

 


Hello Friends! Happy Friday to you. 

I'm bummed because I was so good at fighting off all of the flu and cold germs all season...but this past week I finally succumbed. I have a horrible head and chest cold (thankfully not covid). So I have been coughing, sneezing, feeling tired - the whole deal. Today I have finally felt a little bit better so I have been cleaning up a bit. Lysoling everything. And I thought I'd do some blogland visits and a quick post of a Friday 5 senses. 😊 




SEE


I can see the sunbeams shining in the window - which probably contributed to my bit of pep. It has been gray lately, and we got several more inches of snow the past few days. So even though it's really cold today, the sunbeams give a nice burst of energy. 







HEAR



I can hear the velvety rub and squeak of markers as I work on a coloring page today. I'm also listening to Celtic harp music and they both have been really relaxing soothing sounds in my day. 








TASTE





The first pic is from a few days ago - but this has been my drink on repeat lately. The bottom cup is my current one I'm sipping the last of right now. It's orange and spice tea with a squeeze of lemon and little honey & cinnamon. I like this tea because my tastebuds are dulled from my cold - but I can still taste the spices in the tea and the bright citrus from the orange and the squirt of lemon. The honey helps coat and soothe my throat. 













FEEL AND SMELL



I'm sort of cheating and lumping these 2 senses together. I can feel the nice soft aloe in the tissue when I blow my poor sore nose. I can't smell too well right now. Lol But I can smell the strong menthol vapor given off in these cough drops. They work well! 


I hope you have a cozy and very healthy weekend ahead. 
xoxo

    So nice to have sunshine again! We had some today too.
    I love your hearing description. I can hear those markers now, and I love Celtic harp.
    Sorry you haven't been feeling well. Praying this virus passes quickly!

    So sorry to hear you caught a cold, I keep waiting for it to happen to me too since I have not had one this year yet. The sunshine streaming in is a great lift you up that is for sure, it gets me wanting to do more than when it is cloudy out.
    Your coloring page is very pretty, would make a great background for a card ;)
