#27 Comfort and Joy

In case you haven't noticed, this month has been a long struggle for me and I have often struggled with what to write here as I don't really want to depress everyone.  So when I came across this post over at The Passing Place I decided to outright steal take inspiration and do my own Comfort and Joy post.

Chocolate: OK, I eat way too much chocolate, particularly when I am feeling down but I have learnt the hard way that too much is NOT GOOD, so now enjoy it in relatively normal portions.

Ice Cream: For when times are at their worst, this is the ultimate comfort, though beware the how quickly the cold spreads through your body.

Buffy: An episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer will always cheer me up or let me vent my emotions through the actors on the screen - there is literally an episode for every emotion, whether you want to cry or laugh.

Hugs: I am a hugging person, I hug almost everyone and love being hugged back.  There is something so comforting knowing that you are close to someone and that they care enough to give you a big hug.

Baking: I abosolutely love baking cakes (my cookies are a work in progress) and although I'm not actually a fan of eating them, watching other people enjoy my baking brings my great joy.

Writing: OK, not all writing, not writing when I have to do it, but writing that I am doing just for me.  I particularly love starting a new project (now you know why I never finish anything) and free-writing, just letting the words flow out of me to see where I end up.

Chris: I have never felt the way I feel when I see him as I open the door, or as he walks to meet me somewhere.  I fill up with happiness whenever I think about him and how lucky I am to have found someone who 'gets' me as much as he does.

Dancing: This one has to go at the end simply because although I love to dance I am unable to at the moment.  I still love watching dance groups but now it is with a tinge of self-pity which I would rather not feel.  But I still dream and imagine dancing and twirling my baton.
