Comfort
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. - Psalm 23:4
Wikipedia says: Comfort (or being comfortable) is a sense of physical or psychological ease, often characterized as a lack of hardship.
As I sat with my tea and cake I contemplated the word for today, comfort. I was nibbling on a lemon cake that is one of my all time favorites and had chosen my favorite tea. I felt comforted just sitting in the quiet of the morning with cake and tea. I am still sipping as I write to you, but the piece of cake is just a happy memory. For a few moments I could imagine a world of peace and joy and my heart was comforted.
Have you felt the need these days for comfort?
Maybe a cozy sweater, warm socks, a quilt to curl up in, a particular meal, a good cup of tea?
I struggle these days with the chaos of the world and the pandemic; so sometimes it is cake and tea. Maybe not great for the waistline, but it does quiet my soul for awhile.
A walk in the woods or even in my neighborhood comforts me also.
On Facebook I share a picture from my garden each day just for the comfort and joy it brings to others.
Just the act of going into the garden each morning to snap that pictures brings me comfort and joy also.
Kek çok güzel gözüküyor:)
ReplyDeleteMarilyn, your post was a comforting post, in which I really needed this afternoon. The rose from your garden in beautiful, and your cake and tea are the perfect comfort food. We all need some comfort right now, especially during this time. Thank you for all the comfort and goodness you exude on your posts every time I visit, Marilyn.

Tea and homemade cake is a real comfort but sadly the expanding waistline does not agree. I have started to take comfort from my beautiful surroundings instead.
ReplyDeleteTea, cake, gardens, and raindrops on roses are all lovely, comforting things. I feel like we all need to be kinder these days - kinder to ourselves, first, and then kinder to others. Kindness and comfort go hand in hand.
ReplyDeleteThat looks comforting and delicious, too. And so pretty. I'm in sore need of comfort lately, with unnerving hikes in Covid numbers and concern about the election. I think today I'm thinking cozy blanket, meatloaf and tea!
