Smells.
We all have encountered smells in our life, both good smells and bad smells. There are sweet smells of cookies or flowers and sour smells of diapers and vomit. Smells can cause discomfort for sure, but there are some smells that bring back memories. These memories can be of a person, place, or time. Whenever I smell a pool, that mix of chlorine and water, for instance, it always brings back memories of summers I spent at the pool; I would get there early for swim team practice and still be there come dinner-time. It's a flood of thousands of summer memories that can come back in a matter of seconds just by smelling a little bit of chlorine. The smell of flowers reminds me of spring and always makes me think of tulips as they come out of the ground once all the frost has disappeared and the flowers begin to bloom and take color and shape. Whenever I smell something though, it just reminds me of this beautiful planet we live on and how blessed we are to be here and how lucky we are that our Father in Heaven created it for us.
