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.
