Gratefulness for Smells
Smells are great memory teasers. Allow yourself the pleasure of remembering a favorite smell, and compare it with the favorites of others.

The unexpected scent of fresh sweet flowers around me when I meditate, or, go about my day. I sense Spirit is with me, protecting me, loving me.

The fresh smell of tomato vines and an orange being peeled are my favorite smells.

The afternoon sun shines in my living room warming a white rose with the sweet smell of the rose on my window sill. This past weekend I was at a shopping plaza downtown(Horton Plaza) and a young couple presented me with the white rose saying it was a gift from God to me!!

The smell of my own warm, sweaty skin when playing in the garden of our family home. The smell of a wafer cone.

The sutil smell of the fresh earth, bring clarity to my mind. The sweet aroma of a new born, open my hearth compassion. The smell of the breath in the oven, when I arrive somewhere house, bring me hope. Every has an essence and I grateful to sense each smell that keep me connect with the whole universe. Peace

Lilacs, and the smell of the N.E. Atlantic water there is nothing like the cold sea spray. The smell of low tide on the way to my grandparents house. Chanel #5 my grandmothers perfume and the bread fresh from the oven my mom Baked.. the most comforting and peaceful is the smell of a horse barn... hay, shavings, horse.

Moss is also great. Whenever I jog through my favourite wood (the one beside which I grew up), I smell it - the damp, moist, rich scent of moss. Sometimes, I take a bit of it home to envelop my home with the scent of fresh moss.

I love roses. I've just got 11 wonderful, deeply red roses for my birthday and it's a bliss to see and smell them every day. Their sweet scent calms me and makes me feel great. Love to all of you out there, C.

I love the smell of Vics Vapor Rub. It reminds me of the days when I was little. If I got a cold and cough, Mom would rub me down with it. I still find comfort in it's smell when I am sick.
