In particular I am thinking of a time in Montreal when I found myself staring through a window to a french bakery. There was a couple at the register in front of the display cases filled with delicious treats. What did I notice? Not the scent wafting my way nor the noise of money being exchanged, the crackling of a fresh baguette a baker had just taken from the oven in the very back of the store.
I hope this is unrelated to stress for you, and you can continue to enjoy all of the benefits heightened senses can bring into your life.

Perhaps this is unrelated to stress for me. Thank you for that. I am not sure. Stress has been so prominent in the last few weeks, that my mind went right there. In general my life is not stressful and I am a genuinely happy person. I've recently been through a breakup and it has been very stressful. Today however was a good day and a quiet day. When my life returns to where it was prior to the relationship and I am in a routine that I recognize, all will be better.

Back to Paula, I would love to eat at her restaurant!
