Contributing Author to Amazon Best Selling Book:  Celebrating 365 Days of Gratitude. 
Those of us who were invited to participate in this book were asked:

WHAT ARE YOU GRATEFUL FOR?

I wrote 2 entries, and 1 was accepted. Here is what I wrote:

The Five Senses in Our Marriage

found in the book on June 10, my birthday.

Smelling:

I am grateful for the spicy and sensual scents that elicit the spirit of romance to embrace us.

Hearing:

I am grateful for the vibrant voice of lively laughter, when our private jokes pulsate between us, bellow in our bellies, resound in our ears and reverberate in our hearts.

Touching:

I am grateful for the heavenly hugs, kisses, and caresses that have cascaded ever more in our thirty-eight years together, and most especially those that climax the closing of a conflict.

Seeing:

I am grateful for witnessing and treasuring the accumulating and compounding of tangible wealth in our love bank account, from actively giving each other appreciation, attention and affection.

Tasting:

I am grateful for the sweet taste of applause, as we perform a steamy Samba on stage, and savor the satisfying success.

I am grateful for the five senses in our marriage!
