Just the Aroma

1. Just the aroma of things that we love can uplift us and fill us with cheer, whether it’s coffee dessert or a meal or anything that we might hold dear. HOT DOGS at baseball games topped with some mustard can put a big smile on our lips. Meatball hors d'oeuvres are enticing with vegetables circling delectable dips. Imagine the smell of fresh popcorn when entering a theater or in your own home, and how it creates wholesome thoughts when you purchase it or if you prepare your own.

2. Different aromas are directly related to feelings we wish to arouse. Sweet shops revive youthful memories and happiness while the tastiest CANDY we browse. It’s fun and exciting deciding which feeling you’d like resurrecting within, then choosing a specific aroma that you know will trigger some cheer and a grin. 

3. For me in the morning it’s freshly perked COFFEE then evening a small glass of wine. Each time I anticipate my favorite things just the thought of them makes me feel fine. Fragrant perfume or cologne will create pleasant atmospheres romantic in style. We all need some time pausing from our activities in order to rest for a while. Summertime barbecues fill parks and neighborhoods with a delectable scent! Everything social relaxing and wholesome they unquestioningly represent. 

4. One of my favorites is sizzling BACON and eggs in the morning at dawn. The fact it awakens a homey sensation is one I can rely upon. The fragrance of flowers and scents of the ocean seem magically to set spirits free, just as soft snowflakes in wintertime do then in springtime each blossoming tree. 

5. I’m beginning to think that the list has no end of aromas with which we are blest. So I will conclude with the one that we all might agree could be one of the best. The aroma of fresh roasted TURKEY reminds us of who we are most grateful to. Without our Creator the gifts we possess in our lifetime would surely be few. So thank you Dear Lord for this beautiful world you created for us to enjoy, and for every gift you have chosen to share that for others we vow to employ!
