Saturday Senses



This week, I would like to make you all think about specific abilities we have through our senses, that we usually take for granted. The reason I want to do this is because since I started this meme, I had in mind that not everyone in the world can see and hear, etc, so I thought I´d call your attention to the subtleties that our senses allow us to perceive in our everyday life that we wouldn´t be able to perceive if part of our senses (or one sense completelly) was taken away from us. I hope you enjoy thinking about this.



[taste]:: If you could no longer taste any liquids/drinks, which liquid/drink would you miss and which would you be happy not to taste anymore? Tea - all the flavored teas available - I would miss terribly. I am tea drinker - hot or cold - doesn't matter, I drink tea or water at restaurants. It's very rare for me to drink soda or milk, so I guess these would be the ones I least miss.



[touch]:: If you could no longer feel physical pain, which kind of pain would you be happy to never feel again (I know all sorts of pain are bad, but choose one that is specifically the worst for you). Oh God, I'd be happy to no longer feel pain in my neck, shoulder and back. God, that would be absolutely wonderful, especially during the cold, damp months!



[sight]:: If you could no longer read, which part of your life would be most affected? Additionally, look around you and try to imagine how many things you wouldn´t be able to do in the room you´re in if that ever happened. Losing my sight would impact and affect every part of my life. I'd be unable to keep my present position. I wouldn't be able to participate in photo blogs and blogging would become much more tedious and less enjoyable. I wouldn't be able to see my family and the splendor of life. Everything would be impacted!



[smell]:: Which food´s smell is so much "part of the food" that you´d miss smelling if you could no longer smell anything you eat? A grilled steak, Chinese food, spicy dishes. Of course, I'd lose a lot of weight, so that could turn into a blessing! LOL



[hearing]:: If you could no longer hear people´s voices, whose voice would you be glad not to hear and whose voice would you miss hearing? I'd miss hearing my spouse's voice and those of family. I'm a huge love of music and no longer hearing music would put me in depression. I'm not kidding, folks. Music is a huge part of my life and I don't go anywhere or a day without it. The sound of laughter would be gone. What would be left?
