Comfort

To me, being comforted is not just about feeling pleasant. It's about regaining wellness, being strengthened. And indeed, a quick google search for the etymology of the word "comfort" reveals that there has long been this association.

This past week I felt successful. There is always that sneaking suspicion at such times that my best just isn't good enough. I am all too quick to listen to the naysayers at the expense of forgetting the outpouring of support.

But. This weekend. Snug in our burrow, & even out exploring in the snow and Trader Joe's. I realize that I am strong, that I have always been strong. I feel rejuvenated in the light of a man who is strong and noble. I feel honored that he has chosen me. I feel blessed in all things.
