Writing daily about certain things to be grateful for has proved just how much I take for granted in this wonderful life, and I’m grateful for the reminder.🙏🏽
I’ve read that the loss of the sense of taste was a common byproduct of a person having had Covid, and that really is something to grieve! What pleasure then would there be in eating? Good food is love!🙏🏽 It’s hard to imagine a world without buds—taste buds—not being able to differentiate between various flavors…the saltiness of a pretzel, and the bitterness of bakers chocolate, the sweetness of watermelon and the tartness of lemonade. I love all those!🙏🏽 I love the creaminess of ice cream and the crunchiness of peanut butter, thanks to my buds.🙏🏽 I love the juiciness of steak cooked to perfection and the dry, crispness of french fries. Thanks to my buds.🙏🏽 I love the warmth of coffee in the morning and the thirst quenching relief of ice water throughout the day. Thanks to my buds.🙏🏽 I love the memories certain tastes conjure up, thanks to my buds.🙏🏽 My buds do a lot for me.🙏🏽
Just as my buds pick up on differences in taste, I realize that each one of my five senses is fine-tuned to detect nuances like that.🙏🏽 I’m grateful for this awareness, particularly now at this point in time.🙏🏽 More and more is being revealed.🙏🏽
For the ear tests words as the tongue tastes food. ~Job 34:3
