Monday's Musings

Monday is my favorite day.  Scout's honor.  Maybe because it's a fresh beginning; a chance to start afresh.

This makes me realize why I liked the beginning of each school year.  No matter how bad the previous year ended, I knew that this was the year everything would turn around for the better.

Various scents also have a fresh beginning smell.  New textbooks when you first crack them open and bend your nose over the pages to take that first whiff of a new book aroma.  Each year was also the time for new clothes and shoes.  As my mind wanders, I remember the smell of crayons, the vinyl in 3-ring binders and my floor mat for kindergarten naps.  Each scent evokes such pleasant memories.

May this week bring you a fresh beginning as you recall the favorite times in your life.
