May 11th - The sense of smell

May 11th
I am grateful for the sense of smell. It was only today that I was in the other room and got the smell of my wife making popcorn and thought to myself, im not hungry or tempted to have any popcorn (surprisingly), but absolutely enjoyed the smell of freshly popped popcorn.

I am grateful that I am able to enjoy many smells that I come across daily. And sometime some which arent as plesant, especially when if you do the type of work I do at certain times. But in saying that, the sense of smell helps me with my work in judging when a resident needs assistance.

I am grateful, as I gave the example before, that I am able to smell all the different types of food that I eat, and this helps me enjoy the taste of the food as well.

I am grateful that I am able to smell different fragrances, whether it is the perfume my wife wears, the aftershave I wear or even the fragrances that come from the fragrance oil burner we have in our house to give the house a more pleasant, relaxing feeling.

I am grateful for the fresh smells of nature and the world outside, the smell of the fresh air in the morning, the smell of cut grass, even being able to get the sense of smell when it is close to raining.
