Unconditional Love

Did you ever smell something so wonderful and want to have that scent linger forever? I was baking bread yesterday and the smell of the bread warmed my soul with happy thoughts of times that were more simple. It reminded me of being a child and knowing at the holidays my grandma was bringing the best baked rolls in town. That simple smell of bread baking, made me so happy and flooded my memories with joy.

When memories fade away and a simple scent brings them back so strong in your mind, hold that memory for as long as you can and cherish the joy it brings you. It was only for a moment I felt the happiness, but it changed the mood for the whole day. Reminiscing in my head about all the happiness I once had and how as we grow older we lose sight of the little things.

I’ve always wondered why elderly people always look so angry or sad, but as I age I know the grief they must feel. The anger comes from not knowing how much time they have left and the sadness is because they are going to miss everything about their world. So take in the SMELLS of your life TODAY and cherish them forever in your heart. Let that happiness flood your soul everyday. Stop and smell the memories for there is no promise of tomorrow.
