		<description>Hi Jess,
A good sense of taste is assisted with a good sense of smell!

And remember sometimes things in the world do smell just awful and go on for a long time...Wow that is a stink!</description>

		<description>I am absolutely fascinated (and slightly jealous!)
with your description of the way you smell, Patricia! I have never, never heard a sense of smell described that way before. How interesting.

I agree with Ms V. ~ my sense of taste is cherished, although not necessarily a super power like your nose! I depend on my sense of taste to cook and sense what herbs, spices, flavors would go together. I love to try new foods, share a good meal with loved ones. Without my sense of taste I&#039;d miss all of that!

		<description>Hi Barbara,
Isn&#039;t this fun to explore our greatest senses...I thought Eric&#039;s term of a &quot;sense of sorrow&quot; was very intriguing.  My oldest daughter always had just a joy in color and is a wonderful photographer now .

Hi Davina,
I will have to go and check out Thinking Out Loud Blog...maybe it&#039;s the atmospheric pressure that we wrote similar posts.  Thou I will have to confess this is one a wrote about a year ago and have had a glitch in my bookkeeping program that I was on the phone for hours fixing so took this out of my emergency/relief stack!
Ah feeling....exploration and discoverying...those are nice to ponder and contemplate!</description>

		<description>Hi Patricia. This is the second post I&#039;ve read today about senses. Valerie at the Thinking Out Loud Blog has written about sight and hearing and which sense you&#039;d rather do without if you had to make a choice. I chose to keep my sight.

What other sense am I grateful for? My sense of feeling. It keeps me moving and exploring and discovering. Life would be much less of an adventure without a sense of feeling / heart.

		<description>Hi Patricia - What a marvelous idea for a post.  Your sense of smell is astronomical.  

I have a very strong sense of sight for color.  I have a fetish for paint chips (you know the ones in the paint section).  I can often look at a color and &quot;know&quot; if it will match something that I or someone else owns.  Although I&#039;m sometimes wrong, in most instances I&#039;m right on.  

I love using my sight to watch people.  Like Eric, I can &quot;see&quot; when all is not right in someones&#039; world.  I never looked at it as a &quot;sense of sorrow&quot;, but in some ways it is.  It&#039;s more of a combination of sight and &quot;feeling&quot; on the intuitive level.

		<description>Maya - yes the person with the biggest sense of smell usually gets  the change job!  

My youngest child has an amazing hearing capacity, when she mixes it with music she could play the most amazing pieces of music on the piano in very short order - theme from Titanic in 2 days, Mozart, Flight of the Bumblebee at age 5....I am wondering if that ability is now gone/or disappears when she is taking some medications to assist her focus in getting through college?  Has your keen sense diminished over time?

She brought her keyboard home for storage and just does not play any more?

My nose still knows!</description>

		<description>Ahh, what a nice post. My husband has an acute sense of smell - makes him a great cook and a food critic, besides making him a complainer sometimes:) . He is also the first one to smell a stinky diaper which is great since he does the change job :)

I have a heightened sense of hearing, I think. I enjoy the quiet as much as  enjoy music and sounds of nature.

		<description>Eric,
I greatly appreciate your comments today and I never thought of a &#039;sense of sorrow&#039; what a new idea to explore.   I have seen lots of parents find a point of empathetic understanding with their child&#039;s feelings and I thought that was a powerful response and assisted communications.

What kinds of actions help you to move out of the down levels,or is just getting a new situation all you need to exchange your feelings?</description>

		<description>Patricia, I just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post!  Very well written and unique to boot.

For me, my &#039;sense of sorrow&#039; is very strong.  Empathy.  I can be in a room with 99 happy people and 1 who is struggling and I can&#039;t help but notice that 1.  Even if they are putting up a good front I can usually see through it.  Most of the time this is a good quality, but on occasion it can get me down as I tend to emotionally come down to their level.
