Perception

The definition of Perception is the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses.  This morning while I sent on my run ( I am up to 35 minutes, three times a week! Yahoo!) I tried to used all of my senses to experience everything that was around me.  I heard so many different birds that I lost track after counting five singers.  I could smell the earth as I ran through the park.  I could feel the wooden boards on the boardwalk part of my journey.  I saw my neighbor's bushes blooming with this beautiful purple flower .  And last I could taste the sweet cold water that replenished me after I was done running.  I am so grateful that I have all of my senses!  Hope everyone is having a terrific Thursday.
