From the time we are little, we all have something that brings us comfort. When we are young, it could be a blanket, our parents, a stuffed animal, sucking our thumb, or having our cup of milk.
As we get older, our comforts change to different people, objects, foods, drinks…..
With all of the frequent changes that come with my job, I am finding that I have comforts that I look for at each place for continuity. I don’t think I really realized though that I looked for these things as comfort until now when I was looking for them and either could or could not find them.
I found the Target/Walmart where I can quickly grab things when I need them. I can even walk to them if I want to! But, I have not found a craft store like Michael’s or Hobby Lobby and most importantly a coffee shop. There is no Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks. I did find a little Starbucks in a grocery store, but it isn’t the same as a real Starbucks store! I think the coffee is my biggest comfort I am missing. Coffee is such a marvelous thing. I don’t even care about the caffeine. I just love the different flavors you can have and the warmth. Oh coffee how I miss you and I even have straws to drink you with!
