五种感官的感恩

5 Senses Thanks-giving

如果我们暂停片刻来感恩，每天都充满了快乐时刻。这个感恩锻炼，是透过我们的五种基本感官所感觉的事物来做的。 Every day is filled with happy moments that we can pause and acknowledge. This thanksgiving exercise is based on what we perceive through our five senses.

Sight: Many things are beautiful, whether natural sights such as trees and flowers, created works such as art and architecture, or the sight of a friend or home.

What pleasurable sights lined your path today? Be thankful for them.

视觉：有很多美丽的事物可以观赏，不论是树木、花朵等大自然景色，艺术品或建筑物等人类创作，很久不见的一位朋友，或是远离后返回家门。

在你今天的人生旅途上，你见 过哪些令人愉悦的景象呢？ 为它们感谢吧。

Hearing: The warble of birds, the sound of music, or a loved one’s voice on the phone can bring a smile. What were the sounds that brought you pleasure today? Be thankful for them.

听觉：鸟儿的啼鸣、音乐的旋律，或是电话里传来所爱之人的声音，都能为你带来笑容。今天有哪些声音曾为你带来喜悦呢？为它们感谢吧。

Taste: Think back over what you ate and drank today. What flavors and textures did you enjoy? Be thankful for them.

味觉：回想一下你今天吃喝了些什么东西。你喜欢哪些味道和有口感的食物呢？为它们感谢吧。

Smell: Freshly mown grass reminds us of summer; a certain perfume or cologne may remind us of a loved one or friend; the smell of a certain food can conjure up places and experiences from our past.

What good smells came your way today? What happy thoughts did they trigger? Be thankful for them.

嗅觉：嗅觉能唤起人们的联想。刚除草的清新气息，会让我们想起夏天；某种香水或古龙香水，会让我们想起所爱之人或一位朋友；闻到某种食物的气味，会让我们想起以前曾到过的地方和曾有过的经历。

你今天曾闻过什么好的气味呢？它们让你想起什么美好愉快的思绪呢？为它们感谢吧。

Touch: Our days are filled with touch. We brush our hair and feel its softness. We hold a mug of warm tea. We splash cool water on our face on a hot day.

What special experiences did you have today thanks to your sense of touch? Be thankful for them.

触觉：我们的生活充满了接触的经验。我们梳理头发时感受到头发的柔顺。我们手拿一杯温热的茶。在热天里，我们用凉水溅湿我们的脸。

感谢你有触觉，今天你有什么特别的体验？为它们感谢吧。

凡事谢恩。

In everything give thanks.
