What comforts you?
April 29, 2006
People talk about comfort foods a lot, but there's more in our lives that we find comfort in.
Clothes – When Matt and I were dating, I loved hanging out in a long sleeve button down shirt that I stole from him. Now Matt has a Third Day hoodie that I enjoy wearing. Both of these clothing pieces are Matt’s, and they are soft. Sound like comfort to me!! How many people have a favorite pair of jeans?!
Drinks – I love hot drinks! Give me hot tea, coca, and coffee any day of the week no matter the weather.
Activities – I love going on walks with my family, spending time with Matt, receiving hugs and kisses from the girls, reading a good book, having a few moments to myself, receiving a phone call from a dear friend, a great night sleep, listening to or making music…! I could definitely go on in this category!!
Then, of course, Food – Chocolate is wonderful, but not just any kind. I prefer dark chocolate. I love Godiva chocolate, however I do not like the ones with hazelnut. I enjoy chicken strips, mash potatoes, and gravy. I really enjoy biscuits and sausage gravy. My grandma’s cherry pie is at the top of my favorites’ list, along with my mom’s chicken and dumplings. I love trying new things, especially new foods!
So, again, I ask…What comforts you?

Wow, Sarah, I love the idea of things besides food that comfort us!
I have an old blue sweater that was my dad’s, I think. It has holes in the sleeves and the tags are completely gone so that I can’t tell the front from the back. My mom has been trying to sneak it in the trash for years, but I love it. It is my favorite peice of clothing.
I love hot drinks, too! Hot Irish Breakfast Tea is great comfort!
Oh, and my literature books are things I turn to when I need to be comforted. Poetry, Shakespeare, and Austen are great sources of comfort!
And I can think of a few movies that I watch when I just need to feel comfort; Gidget, Little Women, and of course, Pride & Prejudice.
Food–TACOS!!!!!! The ultimate comfort food for me is TACOS!
