It did the trick.... / myLot

I was feeling a little low. This time of year I start going down pretty easy. So what should my daughter do but bring me something back from her walk. Some wonderful lavender. I stuck it in my face and took one deep breath of it. It revved up my energy and brought my mood up a bit. She is a sweet girl and she did just what I needed. The scent of lavender does it for me. That deep, rich aroma. Mmmm. Is there something that does that for you?

many scents evoke a sense 'f peace 'n calm. if'n lavender does it fer ya, make lil sachets 'f such - ya can rejuvenate the scent by poppin' 'em in the microwave 'fter a small stint in the freezer. i'm sensory driven 'n simple minded. jest watchin' the leaves dance in the trees does it fer me.

I put it in my pillow. Smells so nice as I fall asleep.

That was kind of your daughter to think of you like that... I'm glad the lavender helped you... I love the smell of brewing coffee....

Our youngest son came to visit yesterday and bought us some red roses. That was so sweet of him.

How nice of your daughter to bring lavender for you. I have some in my garden, and brushing by it releases that lovely scent.

I have some oil in my drawer that I use when I have no fresh lavender. I sure enjoy the smell of it.

I love lavender! I think one of the scents that seems to get me going is cinnamon. I don't want to smell it all the time but during the holidays it is really nice.

Cinnamon and Vanilla together is supposed to be a good one for men too.

@celticeagle Really? I didn't know that. I do know that once I had some oils that we burn that was vanilla and lavender and it was heavenly.
