Of the five senses that humans are blessed with, the sense of smell is my favorite. Nothing is more satisfying than catching the aroma of something wonderful in the oven, freshly laundered clothes, or [my personal favorite]the cologne of that oh-so-attractive guy you just walked by who clearly appreciates good hygiene and style.
Right now I happen to be sitting at my desk by my bedroom window attempting to focus on the massive amount of homework the chef so graciously assigned us. Obviously it isn't working out for me... Two things distract me. First, this blog. Before yesterday I never felt the need to share my thoughts with more than a select friend or two. Why that feeling so suddenly changed I do not know. The second, the wonderful smell drifting in through my open window. It's captivating. My mother, being the fabulous gardener that she is, has a fascinating assortment of flowers and bushes planted in our yard RIGHT below my window. These scents on their own mingle with each other and produce something truly intoxicating. Add on that it is a balmy, warm day with a slight breeze and I hope it helps you to understand how distracting this is for me. Oh, and the shirt I'm wearing is freshly laundered with a 'fresh linen' fabric softener.
Flowers...warm air...fabric softener... I'm in heaven.
