Comforting

Hot Cocoa
A crackling fire
Candlelight
Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup
Snuggling w/your favourite child on the sofa & watching a movie
Good conversation
Hugs
That book you can read over and over and still love (for me: 84, Charing Cross Road and To Kill a Mockingbird)
Lena's Homemade Birthday Cake Ice Cream
The sound of a key turning in a lock
Traffic passing outside your window
The smell of cigarette smoke
Beer on someone's breath
The aroma of fresh coffee with cream and sugar
Grandad's sweater
Watching the leaves change over the weeks of Autumn
Looking at old family photos
When the clock says 5:27
Pink Lady & Honeycrisp apples
The kitchen when cookies are baking
My little brother's chuckle
Having your back or arm scratched
Anything that Bishop cooks
The sound of Super Mario 3
Finding something in last Winter's coat (a whole pack of cigarettes (minus 3) and my Elvis lighter!)
Christmas lights on houses and wreaths on doors
Looking thru the telescope just as Spring arrives
Getting a letter in the mail
Falling asleep in front of the TV
Bicycle bells ringing
