Comfort is
Cuddling on the couch with my husband at night
The fireplace casting its warmth and glow
Comfort is
That first cup of coffee on my porch
Watching the day unfold
Comfort is
Watching scary movies with my kids
Lights out, hiding our faces with our blankets
Comfort is
My gray sweatpants and favorite hoodie
When the weather gets cool or chilly
Comfort is
A walk on a cool autumn day
Through the woods, blazing orange
Comfort is
Messy bed sheets on Saturday morning
Where I am the little spoon
Comfort is
My Favorite episodes of “Schitt’s Creek”
When my mood is down
Comfort is
Meditating and progressive muscle relaxation
To help manage my constant anxiety
Comfort is
Hugs from my husband
The kind of hug that holds all the pieces back together
Comfort is
Hot chocolate and cookies
When it is cold and snowy
Comfort is
Soaking in a hot bath
When my weary bones ache
Comfort is
