I’ve been taking time this week to stopand smell the roses. Literally, I bend over in my neighbors’ front yard, checkthat nobody is watching, and then bury my head in the flowers.

I’ve also been walking i nto bakeries,walking around without buying anything.

Afterhaving surgery on my broken nose 18 months ago, I haven’t been able to smell ortaste things.

I rememberonce, when my son was five months old, I was carrying him down the street. Windswept through and almost tipped us ove r. He threw his little head back andgiggled. He’d never felt the wind on his face. When is the last time I laughedat the weather?

The first time I ate bacon, I rushedhome to my parents, determined that we ate this deliciousness at every meal. Myfather smiled and agreed.

We don’t write postcards about thesmall things. We don’t frame them in photographs. They aren’t that great orgrand, but without them, life is

As my sense of smell returns to me, it’slike I’m smelling things for the first time. They’re full of memories andmagic. Food tastes better, and the air is indeed sweet. I know what the poetsmean now. It almost makes my broken nose worthwhile. Now, I am waiting for thisbandage to come off. There’s an itch I can’t reach!
