I love the glowing
embers
in the pot of
fire
warming my toes

I slept last night with the smell still on me
I woke up this morning with the smell still saturated in my shirt
I walked back into my classroom with the smell newly embedded into the walls

It may be only my imagination, but the smell of that fireplace from last night has taken over my life. It's a yummy smell. A comfortable smell. A happy smell.
