I was reading today that when asked "where you feel the most at home? the most comfortable?" in general people would respond with.. my parents home or grandma's home. The author explained why... it didn't change much. I thought about one of the reasons I love to be at my uncles is he has so many things from my 
grandma's home in his home. It was clean and classy but things did not change. How often do we in general crave the latest and greatest? Why? I think because it is the "latest and greatest" and the whole keeping up with the "Jones". Who are the "Jones" anyway? Do we sometimes make changes for the sake of making changes? The quote reminds me of Ms. J. my beloved teacher from JR High. She always said move forward not straight. I just loved her. I have called her up and told her of the difference she has made in my life. SO I was thinking about how sometimes we want change because we are bored or because we have out grown something. I'm glad Scott has not out grown me:) He is very attractive and I love to just watch him. I'm glad he is steady and does not change. I think God is also steady. So why am I so often looking to change things? Then I thought about how the more things change the more they stay the same. This year could be one word for me and it is change so perhaps that is why I am craving the same old comfort of grandma's house. A house I have not been in for almost 30 years. The photo makes me giggle, it was taken in her house. You see her in the right corner, me trying to turn baby Anth's head to face the camera, and was I cute or what? That is weird that she has been dead that long. I ran into one of her friends at the Temple awhile back. He told me again how funny she was, how creative she was, how original she was. he thinks we would be really great buddies as adults. I adored her as a child so I can only imagine how nice to be with her as an adult. And we could talk about change.
