Senses and Memories

M just told me that when he eats mint chocolate chip milkshakes that he thinks about me. There are so many things that make me think of someone I love or remind me of a time (like a song I listened to in highschool reminds me of events then) or a food (potroast and potatoes in the oven reminds me of mom and noodle soup and crackers with bologna on it remind me of dad). I love that our senses can make us think of something and make us smile. The sun hitting me on my face (no matter what the temp is) makes me happy. (although it helps if its 70deg) I smell Listerine and I think of my Grandma W. (It has to be the yellow kind) I hear the song "Hotel California reminds me of my friends Ang, Stac, and Dee. I taste chocolate rice krispy treats and i think of my mom. (and anything mint chocolate like the milkshakes that remind M of me!) I smell cinnamon and it makes me happy. Especially pumpkin spice cinnamon because it reminds me of the fall which is my fav time of year. I see pictures of my family and that makes me happy and remember the moments those pictures were taken in.
