I lost my sense of taste and smell this weekend. Imagine my misery. I ate and was not satisfied. I turned the humidifier on and could not smell the Vicks. It made me think about the little things I take for granted.
For example, my son always asks for a kiss, then proceeds to request a hug right after that. Sometimes it irks me, because he asks at the worst possible time…like when I have to go to the bathroom, or when I’m rushing out the door to get to work. …
