The sky was grey and it had been cold outside for days. Weeks. Months, it seemed. Snowflakes were falling all morning, covering the streets with a dusting of white.

It was the kind of day where you just didn’t want to get out of bed and face the cold; you’d rather curl up with a hot cup of tea and a good book in your favorite chair by the fireplace. Or smell the comforting scent of soup cooking in the crock-pot and homemade bread baking in the oven.

Instead, I was at work and business was slow. As I sat at my desk, talking with a co-worker, suddenly I smelled the unmistakable aroma of chocolate chip cookies.

“Do you smell that?” I asked her.

“No, what?”

“Chocolate chip cookies! I wonder if someone is baking them in the kitchen.”

She said she didn’t smell anything and that there wasn’t anybody in the kitchen.

I asked another of my co-workers if he could smell it. He said “no.”

But the mouth-watering scent was very strong.

Several hours later, a woman came through the door dressed like the statue of liberty in an effort to promote her tax business. She handed me some coupons and two packages of home-baked cookies, not the least of which were chocolate chip!
