After getting home late from the movie the other night, my daughter and I walked into our nice toasty home (it was cold out that night) and I felt this overwhelming sense of…well, home. It smelled nice, familiar…and I noticed that it seems to be a combination of smells. Some of my mom’s house, some of my mema’s house…

Those nice familiar scents when you go visit your granny that seem to calm you down when you walked in. That is what my home was like that night when we came home. I don’t know what in particular triggered that reaction in me, because I’m sure it’s no different than any other day. But it was good. It was familiar. It brought relief.

So I got some good news this week on the job front. Other changes have happened overnight, and I feel like 2009 is going to be a good year for a new beginning for me.
