Sound

I hardly listen to music, and usually, I don't connect songs to specific settings.

A song by Idan Raichel - Hacol Over עידן רייכל - הכל עובר (Israeli singer TF)

This song reminds me of a time when my (ex) husband went to Israel with the children, we were on bad terms, I went out for a run and on my running playlist (I have all kinds of songs on my MP players, for the run) was this song. I don't remember why I listen to it but it made me feel that we have a chance to save our marriage if we'll fight for them. I remember listening to this song over and over again, and for a moment I felt optimistic about our situation. Eventually, it all came back to where we were right when he came back and we got separated.

Another song and gets to me: Tzemah Bar by Hava Albershtein צמח בר - חווה אלברשטיין (Israeli singer TF) - the song is based on a book called "My uncle, my friend"?), I'm not sure of the name. I don't remember exactly what was the story and why I loved it, but it reminds me of life in the Kibutz which was not easy growing up in this isolated environment.

Sight

The first picture that comes to my mind was a picture of me that was taken from the first Triathlon I did. It was one of the most empowering experiences I've had, and it was taken place in one of the happiest times in my life, just a moment before moving to England.

When I was searching for this photo, I went over my facebook photos and came across a photo on my oldest daughter, and I felt heartbroken. This is not something I talk about, but it's there all the time, she doesn't speak to me for two and a half years, it's called Parental alienation.

smell

This is a very developed sense in me. I'm very sensitive to smells.

Smells that make me feel good: Ocean, beach, Lavender, babies. These senses make me feel relaxed and comfortable. I love the beach but I can't stand the feeling of the sand inside the house. I love the beach until the minute we get back home (with the sand...). I love the smell and the feeling of clean tile floor, I love walking barefoot on clean tiles right after it's been cleaned.

Bad smell: The first thing that came to my mind - when my children come back to me after they spent a few days at their father's house. They have a smell that makes me feel sick, especially that smell that sticks to my daughter. I encourage them to go to the shower as quickly as possible. It's the smell of the house or the laundry detergent that he uses, it sticks to their clothing and their hair.
