Everyday Comfort

Bring it on, the peace that comfort brings,

And remember it through senseless moments —

You can carry a down comforter with you.

Comfort is a kindness.

We take comfort in the words and deeds of others,

and yet sometimes give comfort to our enemies, or so it is said.

I vote for reliable comforts: the cherished wallet photo, chats at bus stops, and welcome phone calls.

Life is catch-as-catch-can, and pain is often sprung on us.

Comfort depends on personal thresholds: relief from a worsening asthmatic attack, cold water splashed on a sweaty face, a quiet walk before crappy days.

You may be comfortable in your own skin, and count your blessings.

Comfort is mercy.

Give it a try.
