Things that comfort us
TV ClubHouse: Archives: Things that comfort us
Hippyt | Sunday, November 03, 2002 - 06:22 pm     Abby,my kids love sleeping in my bed too. It had never occured to me,what a nice thing. I love it when my hubby is out of town,and the kids come sleep with me! I'm lucky enough to have a very big,supportive family. I take comfort in knowing that if anything ever went really wrong there would be plenty of people there for me,my husband and my kids. I have four turtle doves who like to hang out on my back fence. I love sitting on the back porch just watching them when the kids are in school,and it's nice and quiet. Seeing my kids come home from anywhere,how they are so excited to see me and just jump into my arms. When it's cold and dreary,and I get down,I love to make myself a big bowl of homemade mashed potatoes,get under a blanket on the couch,and pig out! This post makes me smile! |

Misslibra | Sunday, November 03, 2002 - 08:51 pm     A nice warm hug. A long back massage. A good movie. Cuddling on a cold night. Reading a good book. Paying all my bills for the month. Coming to the TVCH and reading posts that make me laugh out loud. Chunky Monkey Ice cream... yum! |
Meggieprice | Sunday, November 03, 2002 - 08:51 pm     I have to say the most comforting thing for me during the weeks and weeks of pain and being bedridden this summer, (aside of course for my most darling selfless caring husband) has been my sweet cat Puddin'.(really named George which mutated cause of Georgie Porgie Puddin' Pie)When I am in bed feeling really low, perhaps even crying, he always knows and he crawls headfirst under the covers until his ample body is lying right along mind. He is just so loving and so squooshy I can't feel bad anymore as he lies there purring and loving me. |
Christina | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 03:55 am     hmmmmm my comforts are......its snowing lightly out this morning and thewoodstove is just right. My husband just drove off to work and we had a nice relaxing weekend. My son studied this weekend and should do well on his tests. (been doing horrible lately..oooh adolesence) and many more, this is what is making me feel good today. |
Goddessatlaw | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 05:25 am     Laying on a quiet beach by the ocean on a warm day (preferably on Cape Cod); Potato chips and cottage cheese; A blazing fire in the fireplace on a snowy night. |
Heyltslori | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 11:14 am     Rocking a baby  |
Sia | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 11:56 am     Lori, make that "rocking a baby who ISN'T CRYING!!" LOL!! Falling asleep with my cat curled up on my feet, chest or pillow, another cat behind my knees and one child tucked under my covers on either side of me--for a nap! If they want in my bed at night I don't really rest well! |
Djgirl5235 | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 12:10 pm     Talking to my mom Being hugged - unless I'm crying, then don't come near me or it's waterwork haven!!! A nice hot bath Curling up in front of the fireplace with a really good book Being with my boyfriend MUSIC... definitely - listening, singing, playing my piano... Having my hair brushed My cats - doing anything that they always do, unless they're between my feet when I just get home... there's nothing comforting about that!!! |
Dahli | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 03:27 pm     my two pups snoozin' in front of the fire while I slowly pet them and watch the flames - it was a chilly lazy day yesterday so I had a fire going all day and it was sooo comforting. |
Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 08:12 am     I really love this thread - |
Northstar | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 08:37 am     listening to my husband's heart beat as we fall asleep during a sunday afternoon nap a down comforter (i live in ak) mashed potatoes camping, campfires and starry nights a tropical beach in february kind honesty |
Jo_5329 | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 08:57 am     When I'm down in the dumps and can't get out - no matter the reason ... I pull out my Star Trek: TNG videos and start watching them from the begining, while eating Doritos and ice cream. Don't ask me why - but it breaks me out of the blues by the time I'm done watching them all. |
Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 09:17 am     Flannel - warm flannel Warm sunshine Reading Random acts of kindess stories Hot chocolate with marshmellows Watching x-mas lights blinking slowly in the dark. Watching snow fall - from inside a warm house. Watching kittens play - snuggling with a kitten. |
Lumbele | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 09:54 am     Everyone safely at home, snowstorm, having a baking party. Flannel jammies, soft boiled egg, toast, real bacon (not the "low fat" stuff), hot cup of tea with honey and lemon juice. Smell of homemade bread. LOL, I guess my comfort zones include a working oven. |
Danzdol | Wednesday, November 06, 2002 - 10:29 am     Nice thread........ My baby cooing at me when we lay in bed side to side as he smiles My husband playing with my hair Eating chocolate (no matter what the occassion is happy or sad) A hot cup of coffee that smells nice (like vanilla or cinnamon)when it's cool out (rarely the case here in Miami) or in my case when the AC is very cold inside The feeling after you work out really hard and you are oh so tired but satisfied Listening to the waves as you snooze on the sand (day or night) Looking up at a night full of stars and wondering what ifs....... Daydreaming Soft sheets and comforter as I spoon with my hubby Hugging my baby when he is in his sleepy daze and I am about to put him down for the night....sooo yummy. When I am sick and my hubby baby's me |
