Today, or on Day 11, I am thankful for my sense of smell. Your sense of smell not only alerts you to something going wrong, for example, burning wood, rubber, paper, etc. warning us of fire; but we are able to enjoy so many wonderful scents as well.
It's pretty amazing that the Lord created this little opening on the front of our faces, with two small holes, wherewith we could smell things. I'm sure originally the human sense of smell was more critical when men hunted and gathered crops than it is today. Just think of all the things they discovered with their little noses, lol. Although if you're shopping for a good ripe canteloupe, you'll probably see folks smelling them to see if they smell ripe enough!
The perfume industry should definitely be thankful for our sense of smell, for that is exactly what they capitalize on; do we like to smell of floral scents? natural scents? exotic scents? etc. and the list goes on and on.
Some of my favorite scents are: vanilla, coffee, fresh laundry, rain, freshly mowed grass, apples and cinnamin (Christmas!), pumpkin, my husband's perfume, the smell of a newborn baby, suntan lotion, cedar, and bar-b-que.
