I opened up my bedroom windows last night for the first time and awoke to the smell of the sea. It was heavenly. The fact that I could smell the salt in the air surprised me. But then I remembered, oh yeah, I live just a few blocks away from the Puget Sound.
Since I can't see the water from my little abode, sometimes I forget my true geographical location. Sounds silly, I know. But this simple realization completely brightened my morning. I literally live in a cottage by the sea!
