Comfort

Tonight, as I made potstickers for my family, I thought about all the things that make me happy. I am a person who likes comfy things-- in fact, I go out of my way to do things that give me that warm, fuzzy feeling. Take one of my favorite things in the whole world for example: food! I love cooking and eating. It gives me a sense of security. And then there's family. Often, I'd rather hang out with my family than my friends. They are the coolest people I know-- really! I share so much in common with them and I am lucky to live so close to them. I always have. And reading . . . I adore books. Cookbooks, novels, magazines, you name it. I love curling up with a book. I also love watching movies and snuggling on the couch with my hubby and puppies by our fake fire (well, not fake exactly, but it has gas logs, hehe). I also love socks-- warm, thick, fuzzy ones. And I can't forget chapsticks. I have always loved them. I like the way my lips feel. And most importantly, I can't forget my love of hot beverages, especially tea.

I know everyone likes comfy things, but lately I seem to go out of my way to find things that give me a sense of security. I'm sure this is partly because I've spent the last 6 weeks feeling pretty crappy and am only now returning to my normal self :-) If you don't have your health, not much else matters, eh?

BTW, the hubby and I are STILL working on my phone (it's a T-Mobile issue luckily and not a problem with my precious new phone). I will be posting pics and recipes for some things I've made over the last few days. I may have dropped 10 pounds being sick, but I am back cooking and eating in full swing . . . I knew it wouldn't last long. Those 10 pounds will probably be back before I know it. I can't resist my natural domestic urges. :-)
