SOUL FOOD

Many of us, myself included, at times feel that there is not much good going on in our lives, that the early-in-our-life promise is missing and difficult to find, that life has become a bit humdrum, tedious, dull, blah, unimpassioned.

So, here's my suggested cure.

We make contact with the world through our 5 senses.  There are 5 weekdays in every week.  Let's change their names to Sightday, Tasteday, Hearday, Smellday, Touchday.  And on each weekday of every week, let's open up our particular sense to something new and fresh, exciting and super-pleasing. 

   *Visit a site you've been meaning to go to and walk in gardens you have not ever seen before. 

   *Try an odoriferous food that is a specialty of another country. 

   *Apply an exotic new cologne.

   *Find a quiet place and listen to stirring music that moves you. 

   *Touch or be touched by someone you love.

We feed our bodies each day.  We must feed our souls each day, as well.
