Just a simple observation

[Martian5]

I was just sitting outside watching the late afternoon sun and clouds and enjoying a simple serenity.  I came to realize that I could smell autumn again.  I remember that when I was younger I always enjoyed the smell of autumn.  This may not seem all that impactful to others but it is huge to me -- many, many memories and feelings long suppressed have come back.  One more thing that I am grateful for and can use if any cravings come along.  Quitting smoking has brought so many simple pleasures back!!!!

I remember when my sense of smell and taste came back, funny thing is I didn't know it was gone until I got it back! Enjoy your Autumn smells

Can relate. The southwest desert has a smell like no other this time of year if you get out of the city Delightful! Enjoy your quit and hang in there! Best wishes.

It's these small things that often make the biggest impact on us as we transition through the seasons of the first year of our quit. Enjoy to the max M5

Smoking covered and muffled all our senses, it is such a pleasure to hear of your re-discovery.

Breathe deep your magnificent Autumn !

Here is another one -

I remember when you went through your own three month battle. And now, it is almost 10 months, and close to a year.
