Some things to comfort me when things go bad....
1. Vanilla ice cream and cookies (all mixed together in a bowl) with some chocolate syrup squirted on top.
2. Playing my cello and violin brings me tremendous comfort (especially when I play "Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major" or the "Christmas Concerto" by Corelli on my violin). Lately I have been trying to send my music to our friend Chris for healing and comfort.
3. My dog Cody.
4. When my boyfriend holds me tightly in his arms and makes me feel as if nothing in the world can hurt me.
5. Sandalwood and Potouli incense.
6. Watching Brokeback Mountain
7. The familiar creaks and pops of my house. It reminds me that I am home.
8. Friends and family all gathered together and enjoying each other's company.
9. The sound of my boyfriend snoring on one side of me, and my dog snoring on the other side of me.
10. The Sims 2!! I love that game!
11. Playing in my chamber orchestra every other weekend. The peace and warmth that fills my heart when we are all together making music cannot be described.
12. Popcorn!!
13. Puppies and kittens!
14. Emailing family and friends around the country and overseas.
15. Bettermost of course!
