What is potpourri? According to Merriam-Webster the words origins are French and it's literal meaning is "putrid pot". Ick!
Today potpourri is most commonly associated with a good smelling blend of flowers, herbs and spices. Depending on your olfactory ... some potpourri can certainly be putrid ... but to most, it is pleasant.
Not that I've been shopping around for potpourri or studying it at length, it's really not my thing. But I do recall that my mom loved potpourri and I also remember that it was never just one flower, one spice, one orange peel. It was always a blend of several of the aforementioned. It was a variety. And the variety dictated the scent, different variety ... different scent ... still potpourri
As the saying goes "variety is the spice of life." I believe that this is true. Variety certainly keeps things interesting. And the variety you choose will decide how interesting your life is. So try new foods, new experiences ... the variety will give you perspective that you didn't have before. And if you don't like the new experience or food, you will appreciate the things you do like even more.
Potpourri can be good ... make your life a potpourri! Start today, try something new and different. So what if you don't like the experience or the food item. At least now you'll know.
Have a blessed day!
