Something Smells-In a Good Way

Yesterday my nose led me to be thankful three times.

When I was emptying a vase of roses, that I hung to dry, I was thankful for the beauty in flowers, even after they are 'through'. Later, squishing my face into warm, fresh out of the dryer baby laundry, my heart swelled with gratitude that I could have a baby. Before I went to bed yesterday, with my face poking out of the door after it had rained, I was so thankful I can smell.

Oh I agree, I love smells! They it's the strongest trigger of memories. I love smelling the Arizona desert after it rains. We have a plant called Creosote (greasewood) that is so delightful!

Baby laundry is my favorite smell EVER! I shampooed the nursery floor in Ivory Snow before I had my last baby! Obsessive? Maybe.
