It’s all about the senses. I need a little healing or self-care. So, here’s my plan for this week:
- Smell- I will go to my five favorite places that have my favorite smells. For instance, bakeries make me think of my grandmother, who I miss so much.
- Taste- I will go on a chocolate eating tour of Portland this week with a dear friend. We’re going to 3 places. I will eat 5 chocolates.
- Touch- I will go to my favorite fabric and knitting stores and touch as many things as they let me. Or, maybe I could go to Nordstrom and fondle the cashmere sweaters without somehow alerting security.
- Hearing- I will listen to my five favorite pieces of music while dancing around my kitchen with the resident toddler.
- Sight- I will watch my five favorite movie scenes of all time.
- The deleted scenes in Love, Actually
- The scene in the English Patient where the bomb diffuser/love interest hoists his love up to a beautiful mural and lights a flare for her to see this incredible wall mural.
- I will see Lady Bird again, then immediately call my mother.
- I love the scene in Breakfast at Tiffany’s where Audry Hepburn finds her cat. It reminds me of my reunion with my cat, Special Agent Jack Meower.
- The opening scene in Chicago, and all that jazz. Also, the tango with the female prisoners talking about why they were put behind bars.
