Smells are said to be a major source of memories and anchor them in our mind; that’s what writing does for me, it reminds me of things that have happened.

The close of a year is always a time for reflection and goal setting. It’s like the end of a chapter in a book — the story isn’t over, it’s just time to move on to the next adventure.
