The Scent of Joy

Feeling a little blue today… almost all day. Felt like I could use a friend. I didn’t feel like it but I went out for a walk. It’s a beautiful evening and spring flowers are in bloom. A gentleman walked by and his perfume/cologne lingered in the air. It was a heady mix of the scents from flowers and the lovely scent of his cologne that helped to lift my spirits. I wonder and suppose that it’s all a kind of aromatherapy, where scent molecules travel from ‘the olfactory nerves’ to the emotional center in the brain.

I suppose movement helps when feeling a bit blue as well… as does music… and then there’s always ice cream:). When we feel blue, as we all do sometimes, move closer to something and/or someone that brings you joy.

For an oldie but goodie… here’s a r&b song that sounds pretty sweet if you’d like to have a listen here.
