My favorite sense is the sense of smell. What is yours? There are so many memories tied into a scent and their are some scents that are said will help brighten your mood. What is your favorite scent and which one do you think would help your depression? One of my favorite scents is burning leaves and wood being burned in the winter fire places and stoves. I don't know why but it's always been a huge favorite.

Any kind of tree smell moves me. Well, northern coastal and interior type of forest smells, which are the only ones I am familiar with. Just love that fir tree! Pine, and cedar are great smells too. Spruce, not so much - that is the only tree that grows around here. Sigh.
you can see so much with your eyes......
if you cant hear you can still communicate, read, write, FEEL things with vibrations, etc
if you cant touch - you can still feel things inside of you and still touch in other ways with what you say, do, etc
if you cant smell or taste (they go hand in hand USUALLY) at least you can still do so much more - and sometimes do we really want to smell some of the things we smell..... ;) and taste
