I have been sick and finally went to visit my doctor so I can get well before school starts back Monday. Oh, how I will miss sleeping late. I am praying for a couple of snow days this year. We amazingly got two last year and that is saying something for the Deep South.

I am writing about those things that make you feel good when you are sick. It sounds silly, but it is awesome to have an attentive cat sleep on your legs or feet when you do not feel well. It is like having a friend in bed with you that expects absolutely nothing but a gentle scratch behind the ear. Comfort.

I am a lover of Golden Retrievers and we have two. One of the Goldie’s is my buddy and she is a comfort indeed. There is nothing quite like those chocolate chip eyes staring at you, wondering when you will be up again to go outside and throw the ball seemingly forever. Comfort.

Last things are food related: miso soup, rice, and ginger ale. Comfort.

One more thing: awesome children and an awesome husband and the feeling that everyone is okay. Comfort.
