I really enjoyed the church Christmas, despite at least 8 people telling me how lovely my hair and And please will I not cut it again. Hopefully I managed to smile graciously whilst thanking them and making no assurances. What I did enjoy was hugging every single one and not just in a fly by style. People at church have been so supportive if me recently, it felt good to sit and chat and physically as well as emotionally connect. A few folk spoke of how they don't get enough touch in their life so I've made a mental note and they will be getting more from now on B-)
I'm very appreciative of all my senses, I couldn't rank them. My son claims I have a super sensitive nose - it's true I can often sniff out trouble. And I was reminded yesterday of when a dear friend Years ago lent me an item of clothing as I was chilly and I spent the whole night wrapped in the garment that smelled of him and what a delight that was. I cried when I recalled it tho as smells fade and so sometimes can connections. I've not been in touch with him for months - I'll try and rectify that today tho my communications are much more limited here. It's important to me to get that balance - I really do want to focus on my family whilst we're here but I also like keeping in touch with my loved ones elsewhere too. I loved playing bananagrams last night, I hope you are having dun and connection wherever you are too.
