I also mark time with my senses. For me, lemon is the scent of clean. When I was growing up, my mom had a lemon-scented wood oil that she used on the furniture on the rare occasion that the entire house was deep-cleaned at once. It smelled so strongly that you could tell from almost any room in the house that it was cleaning day.
I am looking forward to reading about how much weirder the associations get 😂
God gave us five senses to enjoy our lives in this world. Chicken frying is a Sunday memory for me even if it's really a Monday! Strawberry jam coming to its boil on the stove to be saved for much later brings back the picking the fresh berries under my grandmother's giant fig tree! A West Texas Surprise Shower (one the weather guy said WOULD NOT happen) smells like hope for a wonderful crop of glorious bluebonnets! We receive gifts everyday if we just pay attention! And like Michelle, I am looking forward to reading about how much weirder the associations get!!!
Yeeesss a voiceover!! Also my son would have 100% said the same thing 😂😂 (I came home from Japan one time asking my brother to try red bean mochi bc I lovvveed it and he took it in his hands and then said, “Sarah this feels like a dead hamster” and handed it right back - THESE BOYS 🤣🥲)
You say your mind goes even weirder, and somehow that information makes perfect sense to me. Also, thank you for confirming that lemon is, in fact, a season. I was nodding along the entire time until your son compared lemon bars to vomit. That's a level of weird I wasn't prepared for. 😂🍋

Yes! And I think we can train our senses and our attention to notice the gifts more often.

Dead hamster takes the cake. That's both vivid and terrible! And yes, Voice over is a perk for the paid subscribers!
Brilliant! I thought about doing that when I get more consistent 😅🤞🏻.
Vivid AND terrible 🤣💯. No one can ruin mochi in 3 words or less like my bro!
(Jk no one could ever ruin mochi for me)
(But I did immediately regret posting that he said that because EW lmao I’m so sorry 🙈)
