Sniffing out a new journal theme...

Have you heard that certain smells trigger your memory more than any other sensory stimulus?  I was thinking about that when I  decided to journal my top ten personal list of sensational scents.  I didn't have any trouble thinking of smells that triggered good feelings, but I edited a few that others might think are weird!  What smells just make you happy?  List the odors that remind you

of things and places and even people  you love.  The journaling on  my last two got cut off.   9 says "The mix of ocean breezes,salt-water and sunbathers at the beach.  Number 10 is chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven.  Of course, when I told my husband what I was listing he asked about my weird one first, LOL.  If you leave a comment here and want to know I'll let you in on my sniffing secret.

It's Monday and the New Journal Theme is...

Happy Monday!  Did you do a page on the Season of Change page? Peggy, Cathie, and RoseMary have posted their pages on their blogs! Go check it out and please share yours as well!  This week I thought it would be fun to think about  WORDS TO LIVE BY.  What words inspire you? It could be a favorite quote, poem, book, or the lyrics of a song.  Journal about the words that mean something to you.  I'll be thinking about which words I will journal. I love using quotes and I often  use song lyrics to express themes in altered books round robins.  But, when I think about words I live by I hear my mother's voice and my teacher's voices.  Simple lessons we heard over and over as children do seem to be the ones that I still value as  an adult.    I can't wait to learn what words you live by!
