I'm not sure what this Monday looks like for you--ho-hum, dreaded, exciting--but I wonder if we can add a little something to it.
You know how harsh memories often linger in our minds and we replay the pain or criticism or guilt. These memories swirl around our day like a scent that opposes our peace and the day becomes ruined by that flavor alone.
What if we intentionally feed the strength of our memory department today by recalling a sweet memory--one that, when replayed, brings us affirmation and joy--and let it become the sweet scent of this Monday?
Pick a joyful memory--an amazing letter from a child, a parent's tender hug, a spouse's admiration expressed in surprising words--and spray it on before your day gets too far along. Replay it as often as you want, letting it compliment your heart.
We can call today Happy Scent Monday.
Feeding our strength with favorite memories...have a beautifully scented day.
