It may be October, but I smell like August!!!!

I can hardly write about anything lately, without a tie into grief. It is my life, a life without my child. Its a good life, just not a whole life. Too big of a loss.
Grief has wreaked havoc on all my senses. They have all been dulled to sometimes non-existence.
My sense of smell just came back this summer, thanks to my personal Rachel Zoe, aka Maria Purwin. She called early in the summer with a command, "Go to the nearest bobbi brown makeup counter and buy her new fragrance Beach"! Naturally I obeyed, Purwin has an eye for fashion and a nose for what I like!!! I fell over the counter nearly in hysterics, I could smell again, and it was the smell of my youth. The aroma is Florida in a bottle, my Florida, salt, seashells, and home. I could close my eyes and not hurt so badly.

My sense of smell came back to me, after two years. Thank you Perlotta, and bobbie brown, with your lower case B's!!!!!

I look forward to the smells of Fall in the air, and if you get real close to me, a faint smell of the beach.
