Comfort - Joy - Contentment

Is there anything more comforting than a Mother's cool, soft hand on your warm forehead when you're sick? Or arms enveloping you in a loving embrace? How about the feel of your finger encircled by a baby's tiny hand? Or your loved one's thumbs brushing the tears from your cheeks while cupping your face in his gentle hands?

Is there anything more joyful than the sound of a child's laughter? Or a puppy's overwhelming excitedness as he climbs up your chest to lick your face, tail wagging wildly?

Is there anything better than relaxing in silent contentment, hand in hand with the one you love? Or the soft, steady rise and fall of your loved one's breath and the thump of his heart as your hand rests gently on his sleeping chest?

All these feelings of comfort, joy and contentment, I hold deeply within my heart.

  1. That was profound knowledge on the subject of comfort-joy-and contentment. We have so much in our short lives to be joyful regarding. Thank you for reminding me to slow down and enjoy the simple things.
