Night - I am a night owl. I love the night sky. I love the energy that comes with the night for me. I also like that we have a night cycle and day cycle...I don't think I could live very happily in dark environment. I do need sun. I just enjoy the night.
Novels - I have been on a fiction kick lately and read many novels. I love the stories. I love that they slow down my brain and let me escape into the story for a little bit of time.
Naps - They are so nice! I like having naps with Daddy the most though! Snuggling up to him and just feel the warmth of his skin next to me. So comforting. So safe.
Neck - Well I am watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer at the moment so I guess that is why I thought of neck. (smiles) But really I am thinking of the neck as erogenous zone - I like kissing, nibbling and biting the neck and I like having it done to me too. Yum!
Noise - Although I love silence....just sitting in the quiet late night hours or early morning...I also like noise. When I am doing art work, cleaning and such I need noise...tv or music. And I enjoy that sound while being busy. Makes me feel not so alone - like I have company while doing those things.
Nature - Although nature really doesn't like me....I do like it. The trees, the leaves changing....the flowers blooming in the spring. The beautiful mountains of Colorado. The desert cliffs...red earth...tumbleweeds and just the vast open space of it. (Nature doesn't like me as I have lots of allergies that come from nature.)
Nose - to smell things with! :) dinner simmering on the stove top, cookies coming out of the oven, the rose that Master bought me last week, fragrant wine, clean sheets on the bed. Or the smells of childhood that bring me back to that moment....freshly mowed grass, cinnamon rolls out of the oven, vinegar - being a clean smell for me - because my Mom (and now I do too) clean with it, freshly popped popcorn that my Dad was making into popcorn balls as he loves them....so many good smells I am very thankful I have nose to smell them with!
Now - I try very hard to be aware of the present. To live in the now. So now is a pretty important word for me. And I am thankful for all the now gives me.
Next - And from that last word comes the this one...next. I am thankful what comes next. Although I live in the now, I enjoy the next. I think of with this word something from West Wing..."what's next?" In that context it was okay we have resolved this...what's next. Let's keep going forward. And so although I live in the now I do want to keeping going forward - to the next.
Notes - Notes..I make notes and lists. But I also like the little notes that I leave Master to make him smile. Just this morning he found one that I had really really buried in one of his equipment bags when he had to go out of town on a work assignment and I couldn't go with him. This one had 2 little kitties that I colored and a princess tiara and said the kitty cats and I miss you! I like leaving those little notes to make Master smile. So I am thankful for notes that I make and leave.
Nourishment - I am thankful for the various forms of nourishment I get not only in food but connection with others, learning new things, creating art, meditating, exploring and all the other various forms of nourishment that come into my life and feed me.
This was a great list, danae.
ReplyDeleteI'm a night owl too. I guess that's why my work day doesn't start until 10am. I tend to stay up far longer than I ought to because I'm most creative at night and completely lose track of time.
I read once that some of our strongest memories are triggered by smell. As I read your tribute to your nose and the ability to smell, I noted you mentioned things from your childhood associated with certain smells.
I enjoyed reading your thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to leave a link in the links box, I would have regretted missing the chance to read your list!
ciao bella~
