la familiaridad


I woke up to a familiar scent this morning.  In an instant I knew what it reminded me of…New Jersey.  (I know my dad, for one, will think I am referring to an offensive smell, but to the contrary it was a very pleasant and distinct aroma.)  It was the scent that is present on the mornings of the first few warm days of spring.  It is breezy and fresh and full of life.  This is a scent that I was never before aware I could identify.  But as I breathed in this morning, my nose was filled with the unmistakable fragrance of home. 

Perhaps it was because of this—or some other reason entirely—that I had a wonderfully energized day.  I am starting to resemble the person I was last year.  Almost every day I seem to feel a little stronger and more lively.
