The smells of spring

So yesterday I wrote of my longing for spring...today I did something about it.

Lunch came today and I wanted something leisurely to do. So I drove to Target :) I love that store so much. I went through the clearance racks to see if I could find something for B, wandered around, and just enjoyed the break from the office.

Then I came across the air freshener section. I looked at it, and decided my office could use some pretty smells to just enhance my days. I picked a reed diffuser in the scent of willow blossom. It is supposed to last for 60 days...in 60 days it "should" be spring!! It was the perfect treat myself thing to do...and it was on sale ;)

So now my office smells like pretty flowers, and something about that just calms me. It is such a simple thing, but it brings me hope that spring is close..and it will be awesome. This little thing will bring me joy for many days (at least 60!) and make this desk I spend 8 hours a day at a little more pleasant.

So I will soak in the smell, knowing that as the oil in the diffuser goes down it just brings me closer to spring time. In the meantime I will take what I can get and smile :)

  1. That sounds awesome! It'll be here before we know it!

    And lucky you, I can't keep smelly things in my already smelly office. ;)
