So long ago

Ebay is a pretty incredible website. I just rediscovered Ebay two months ago because of another obsession named pickleball. I wanted a new pickleball paddle and someone at the park suggested I try Ebay. I did and it was an incredible experience. I got a great paddle at an amazing price and then I took a trip and found it! A comic book I had gained in childhood but lost as an adult.

I ordered the comic book. I took the comic book out of its sleeve and as soon as I opened it I was treated with a smell and a journey back to my childhood. The smell transported me to a time when me and Spider man faced villains. That smell of the paper and ink brought me joy and nostalgia.

Scientists are still working out how smell works and why it is lost but one thing we absolutely know about smell is that it has an ability to bring someone back and is one of the strongest triggers for memories. Smell often brings with it some of our strongest emotions. Take some time today to think about moments and the smells from those moements it will be a real treat.

Smell you all later
