Writer’s Workshop: Zippy Comfort Items
There are a few things in life that brings me much comfort whenever I feel down or am having a bad day.
1. My family
They are my pride and joy. Even though they may drive me up the wall at times but without them around there will not be solace.
2. Flowers
I love roses and blue roses are my personal favourite. They always lift up my mood and make great deco around the house.
3. Chocolate Cake
It is my go to comfort food whenever I feel down. Sometimes I will bake my own if I have the time or else will pop by the nearest cake shop and purchase a piece.
4. Being outdoors
Sunshine and being at the park or the beach really helps me feel more relax and at ease whenever I feel tensed up.
5. Teddy bears
I couldn’t find a picture of my teddy bear so took one of Tiger’s girl’s instead. Both of us love our teddies and they really bring us lots of comfort.
What are you comfort items?
What is a must have for you?

Chocolate cake definitely!…a cup of coffee, watching the rain from the window wrapped in blanket, listen to Simply Red and sleep…the most conforting of all is to cuddle with the kids and hubby!

That chocolate cake looks delicious! That would bring me comfort too. Also petting my cats and dog brings me much comfort and a big hug from my hubby.

My two favorite go-tos are chocolate and music, but a teddy bear is super nice! So cute and non-judgemental. Great photos!

This is a good post, and the pics are great. All of the sudden I’m wishing for chocolate cake though, lol, but it’s too early in the a.m. 🙂

Hi I liked this post and agree that most of these things lifts my spirits as well. I definitely enjoy spending time with the family and sometimes cuddle with my teddy bear – hubby 🙂

I have to agree with many of yours, especially that chocolate cake.
When I’m feeling down, music and getting outdoors with my camera is always a cure.

My go-to items are snuggles from my kids, coffee, and chocolate. I love yellow cake with chocolate frosting the most lol I think a lot of your go-to items are pretty universal for everyone 🙂 We all love chocolate, sunshine, flowers, and teddy bears!!

dining out with family is a comfort item for me. nothing beats the feeling of completeness being with my kids although i have to say it is becoming rare nowadays as both of the kids are already working and have lives to live on their own. 😀
i must have books to kill the boredom. the internet connection comes next. i must have enough money, too, to buy the extra things that i like to do once in a while. 😀

My comfort item is wine, shellfish, and my garden. Writing is also another one of my comforts.
My must have is currently is wine and shellfish, other two are not always in the mood.

My comfort go-to food is Haagen-Dazs coffee ice cream! Don’t think I’ve seen blue roses before. They look unreal. I enjoy the outdoors and fresh air too. You all look like you’re having loads of fun on the bicycles. Enjoy! {:-D

Ahh comfort?
YES MUSIC!
My children
Praying.
And going outside does help. It makes you take notice.
The must have is the music 🙂
Love your list!

Hi Dominique ~~ Easy for my comfort item, I just had it. Every night before I go to bed I will have some ice cream. Generally it will be with something chocolate or cholate syrup or coating on it. Tonight it was ‘Very Berry Pie’ to go along with the ice cream.
I will have to have my computer. Mrs. Jim has hers and I have mine. That way we don’t have to share unless one of them has a problem. Next having to have on the computer is the Skype. That way we can keep up with the two youngest grandchildren who live in London (when we aren’t there).
