* Comfort

*I wrote the first paragraph of this post this past summer before all the recent health events I’ve been through. It reminded me of how we have both good and bad times in our life and that there’s always a way to find comfort even in the worst of life’s circumstances.

Comfort; it comes at the most unexpected times and usually when you need it most. Today I found comfort in a morning yoga class on a dock over the water.  The instructor encouraged us to ground ourselves to the dock with our bare feet and extend our roots all the way down to the core of the Earth. I felt tall, proud, and comforted. After lunch, I came out to the beach and dug my toes in the surf and sand. I found comfort in that shifting stability.

Now I am writing in my journal and releasing my thoughts. I have found comfort today and it allows me to be open to the peace I long for that only God can provide.  Where do you find comfort? Search for it and embrace it every chance you get. It is what sustains you on the days when there seems to be no comfort in sight. I’m having a lot of those days right now but I look back at what I wrote this summer and realize I always have the power within to borrow from that strength and find my comfort for today!
