Day 55: “Smelling the Good”
I’ve got a strong smeller
I get it from my mom
We think she got all of my aunt’s smelling capabilities
Because she was born without a sense of smell
It can be good to have a good sense of smell
Warm chocolate cookies baking in the oven
The salty breeze as the ocean sways and moves along the beach
The smell of rain coming, or just stopping
There’s downsides too
Walking down the street, you can’t ignore the smell of dog shit
You have to hold your breath as runners go by so as to not be accosted by their body odor
Foul smells from outside while you’re driving hit your nose and stay there
I can always smell something
Especially if it’s bad
If my partner smells it too, then I know it’s really bad
I should try to focus my attention on good smells
Try to find the good
Even if I can’t help but get a whiff of urine on the street corner
