the 5 senses are incredible along with the sixth sense, our intellect/aesthetic appreciation.
i can't get over how much there is to experience. it is mind boggling.
the feel of clay being molded into a bowl
the taste of a new food or an old favorite
beauty everywhere,
magnificent.
yay for life.
boo for thinking that this isn't real. its very real.
boo for thinking that you should suffer or deny yourself now so you will be rewarded in your next life.
Yes! It's easy to get bogged down with life's frustrations and the terrible misfortunes that happen. But on the other hand there is a LOT to appreciate, and you put it well.
In the words of my favorite song of recent times by Bon Jovi "It's my life ... It's now or never ... I ain't gonna live forever... I just want to LIVE WHILE I'M ALIVE!"
love this thread joel bear. Its fluffy just like you
Being quite hampered as a housebound of two months I am enjoying stuff too. Three elegant swans, a rarity, flew over my garden this morning. That made me happy.

What a wonderful reminder! Tonight I'm sharing some Italian food and wonderful wine with some old friends and meeting some new friends. (Remember Prisca from the old days? She's in Dallas this week, so we're having a party at my place!) I hope to experience something wonderful with all of my senses tonight. I wish you could come - I'd give your big bear a little tiny goaty hug.
Love,
Andi
