Smile!
Have you ever noticed how people tend to watch babies?
I mean sit and stare at them, waiting for them to do something cute. I caught myself doing this to my six-month-old grand daughter this week and wondered how she felt about always being stared at.
After all if I sat in the living room and stared at my hubby or daughter that way, they’d get downright fidgety. In less than a minute, they’d be swiping at their noses, thinking they had something on their face, saying, “What? What?”
Think about it. It's a wonder babies don't get a complex from how people stare at them!

The Fragrance of Life
Scent is a powerful thing. The slightest whiff of a particular scent can rouse memories you haven't thought about in years, evoking unexpected emotions. The fragrance of my mom's favorite hand lotion will bring memories of her flooding back to me. For others the smell of oil might take them back to their first car, or a day spent with their dad working on the old jalopey. The smell of leather might remind you of that cool guy you dated in twelfth grade.
Since I write romantic suspense, you're probably thinking--fragrances…romance…I know where she's going with this. Trust me when I say…probably not.
