Sensory Saturdays

21 July 2012 • Kimberly • Leave a Comment

It’s been a while since the last.

.   .   .

 Phone vibrates.

Brrrr, it goes, from somewhere beneath rumpled covers and sheets. Vibrations are

d i s p e r s e d

across the entirety of my bed. It’s actually under my pillow.

“Love is life!” is scrawled across my iPhone.

I can’t help but smile.

To smile every morning to positivity, I breathe  y e s .

Answer me! The reminding vibrations seem to say. I reach groggily next to me for my green tea. Twenty ounces (I know because it’s brilliantly labeled on my Starbucks mug) of caffeine boost.

I’m an adrenaline junkie.

Then a fresh waft of    l e m o n   p i n e   clears my nose, my eyes, my head.

A resounding awake.

It smells of childhood. Memories.

I know it’s Saturday morning.

The best wakeup call, no alaram necessary.

My dad’s mopped the floors, meaning it’s time to  t i p – t o e  across wet floors and make my breakfast.

oatmeal + blueberries + pumpkin & flaxseed granola

A pinch of cinnamon to taste.

Warm. Happy. A hearty breakfast with a crunch.

what to wear today?

    This is the first time I’ve read a sensory Saturday post. I. Am/ In. Love. Also for oatmeal as a treat: I love a spoonful of peanut butter and just a few chocolate chips. It melts right in and tastes like desert.

      Stop. Really? Thank you! I love writing these kind of things, I don’t get to too often.

      And that sounds divine. Trying that as soon as I head home from work (breakfast is good any time of the day, no?).

      xo!

    I recently found your blog via Pinterest. Two words: In. Love. I adore this post and your writing. Reading this I felt inspired. Refreshed. Relaxed. Happy. Thank you.

      No, thank you. I’m touched.

      Hope you’ve had a beautiful start to 2013! x
