The Small Things

Small, but good.

Smell

  • A nicely scented soap that does exactly what it is supposed to do, which is to clean your hands while providing a pleasant olfactory experience.
  • The smell of winter clinging to my hubby when he comes in from the outside.

Sound

  • The satisfying sizzle of scrambled eggs meeting hot, buttered pan.
  • Wind chimes—possibly the nicest thing left behind by the previous owners of the house.
  • The delightfully creepy rasp of dead leaves on a tree when you’re alone in the woods.
  • The crunch of snow underfoot.

Taste

  • Leftover Christmas cookies. They should have been stale and gross, but were somehow moist and yummy. I don’t want to know how that was accomplished.
  • Lemony gunpowder tea—best morning pick-me-up in the world.
  • Avocado on a hamburger. Mmm.

Sight

  • Snow falling in the woods.
  • Icicles hanging on rocks.
  • Joyfully erratic animal tracks in the snow.
  • My son’s wet, toothy, adorable smile.

Touch

  • Soft, warm slippers on chilled feet.
  • A hot shower.
  • A backrub from my hubby.
