Have a happy restful Valentine's Day Sunday and I wish you Champagne Wishes and Chocolate Kisses. Just the smell of chocolate brings thoughts of Valentine's Day long since gone. Remember the little heart cards with funny sayings that you passed around in School. The "Special" Valentine Card from that special person or the one from your teacher. Scents and memory are closely united in the pleasure center of the brain. That is why it is so important that when celebrating a holiday or at any time you want to remember a special moment to stop...close your eyes...use those other senses to smell, feel the sensations of your skin and the sounds you are hearing. This will help make those memories stronger and longer lasting since we are using more than just our sight to remember. When you remember a special moment which of your senses other than sight do you most vividly remember?

Happy Heart Day!
Smell is a biggie for me too. I remember the scent of things, even if I don't remember what they look like anymore.
Happy Valentine's to you too!
Thanks Debra, Hope you had a great Valentine's Day full of Love, chocolate and all things heartfelt.
Excellent point Rue, scents themselves can bring back memories from long ago.
Hope your Valentine's Day was one of chocolate scents of Love and admiration.
