Name something that gives you great comfort

What gets me through
What a good post! For me, it's my mother, my grand daughter and many angels. On top of my television cabinet is this collection of reminders of the love that sustains me. The statue is one I gave my mother many years ago, the rest is self explanatory! And look! It's 71 degrees in here!

Grounding
Hey Cheryl, What a fantastic photo of Bridget....you can just see the fun in her eyes....
guess my dog Kelsie helps ground me as well......she gives me motivation to get up every
morning and feed her breakfast, especially when she won't go away and leave me alone.....
she lifts my spirits when she brings one of her stuffed toys to play fetch with this
impish look in her eyes.....guess another item that grounds me is my bag from Kanort which
contains several stones, some I included was a stone from an Ireland trip and a stone
the teacher for my guided imagery group gave us......I take it with me on the anxious
trips to medical tests and when I can't sleep at night.....sometimes a cup of coffee or
an ice cream cone is comfort food.....there is a special frozen custard place that is
only open from Spring to Fall and I excitedly wait for them to open (which is next week)
so I can get my comfort cone. Thanks for suggesting such an interesting topic.

Ok, I'll play
My cat, Betty. She was hubby's cat before, and merely tolerated me as I fed her. But since I was DX'd, and especially when I had such a rough time with radiation, she has moved to my side of the bed, and follows me everywhere. Sometimes she just climbs up and pats my face, as if to say "I am here for you."

Also, even though they aren't here every day, my grandsons keep me going!

dog
My first dog was our girl Ginger. She was a miniature schnauzer. She passed away at only 4 years of age. Next was Charlie a miniature schnauzer, we lost him sadly last year at age 11. Then Kramer another Schnauzer we lost him at 1 year. We have our dog Radar. He's about 6. He's a salt and pepper schnauzer. They are special fur kids.

For me it is
For me it is fishing. I can think of nothing better than being alone in my boat fifty miles out at sea with not another boat in sight. The ocean is like an earth wire for my soul. All the bad stuff just gets drawn away and absorbed by the power of nature. It got me thru my cancer , my chemo ,my marriage break up and most of the illness. sadly my recent health problems have kept me from getting out there . I miss it so much.

My boys
I take care of my 2 young grandsons every day, and their hugs and kisses are what keep me going. The younger one is 22 months old, and when he cuddles up with me in the rocking chair, life is pretty daggone good. Our first granddaughter is coming in May, so there will be more love to share.

*hugs*

Faith and Family
My Faith is the main thing that brings me comfort. If I am feeling down, I try to talk to God and it is hard to stay depressed when I think of all the blessings in my life. The biggest blessing(after my salvation) is my family. I have a wonderful husband, 3 great children(2 boys 1 girl) My mother is 89 years old and is living with us, and she is,and always has been, my best friend. Then of course there are the GRANDCHILDREN. Those of you that are grandparents, know what I'm talking about. There is nothing like those prescious little ones. I have 4-2 boys ages 13 and 9 and 2 girls ages 8 and 9 1/2 months.They are all precious to me but the baby espescially, because my daughter considered not having her. I'm sure you know from my posts that I would be against abortion, so that was really hard when she talked about it. I know God was in control there, because at the time my daughter was living in San Diego, and had a drug problem, our relationship was very strained, to say the least. She only contacted us if she needed money. I would pray every night and ask God to put something in her life that would turn her around. Well, with my stubborn daughter it would have to be something major. It was, and her name is Zoe (which means life). My daughter actually went to the clinic 3 times to have the procedure, but she said something stopped her each time from actually going in. I know what that something was. It was God. She was still debating on having the abortion when she failed a drug test at the probation office, and since she was pregnant they immediately put her in jail. Well, she got the drugs out of her system, and cleaned up her act. She is now living with us, and taking excellent care of the baby, and once again, God in His great mercy, gave us a HEALTHY, beautiful baby. If I ever figure out how to insert pictures, I will post one of her.
Boy did I get carried away or what?
Anyway, my comfort comes from these things mostly, but if you read my birthday post then you know that diamonds are pretty good for comfort too. lol
God Bless You,

Great Post Cheryl!! Thank You!!!
Hey Phil and Cheryl! I love everybody's photos...I want to to share too. How do you add a photo to a post?

Cheryl...the dog is so cute. And Phil...nice collection of guitars! I love the sound of a hollow body guitar - one of my favorite guitar sounds, especially in the hands of a master player. It all sounds good....jazz, rock, country, etc. Very cool. I have an Ovation (my favorite...it's easy to play for a lousy player like me) and an Ibanez. Good stuff!

So give it up! How do we post pictures?
