"Large Americano?"

"Kelly!"

"How are you doing today?"

I've lived in the same neighbourhood for the past three years.  I've probably had fleeting moments of feeling at home--ones that felt real at the time.  But I've just realized that I really feel at home when I'm known.  All of the statements above were said to me just now, at 9 a.m. on a Sunday morning when I walked in my scrubby morning clothes to grab a coffee.  All within the space of 15 minutes.

It feels good.
