Saturday Question of the Day

Every Saturday I'll try to come up with some "out there" question that just makes you stop and think about something not so important. Think of it as a mini vacation. If you have any ideas drop me a line and we'll throw it in here. Who knows, it might be fun.

OK - Here goes: With everything going on right now....many of us are just looking for a little comfort. A little peace. Some warmth to make all the bad just disappear for a while. What do you do, where do you go (either physically or mentally) for that comfort?

I run to my loved ones. Pure and simple. If I can't be with them in person I'm on the phone. If that's not possible I run the memories, the good times, through my mind like a home movie. I make my favorite comfort food, I listen to my favorite music - but mostly I just make contact.

I NEED people. When I'm scared or hurt I need to reach out and KNOW that there is someone out there just cares.

I realize this is not the "peppiest" question, not really the feel good post I like for this....but it's where my mind is now.....so tell me - How do YOU find comfort??

Ah, there are so many ways... ;) But for the big stuff it's mainly people I love and who I know love me... Our mutual support system... I don't know how anyone would survive modern life without a system like that in place.

Congrats again... It's not every day you appear on television... Or your site, anyway. ;)

My Mommies™ (collectively, my mother and aunt who are twins). No matter how old I am, no matter how far away, no matter what time of day, I can call them and they will - at the very least - commiserate.

My family. My parents, my wife, my kids. And...the comforting weight of the .45 auto on my hip.

Chocolate. ;-) Lots of it.

When life is too much to bear, I snuggle up with TNT for a nap. Beats thinkin'.

If napping isn't practical, I sit in the back yard with the dogs, a tennis ball, a cigar, and a spiral notebook and just start writing until my head clears.
