This book is an
amazing exercise in both comfort and pleasure. The author, Carol
Wiseman, wrote to people she knew and asked them "What comforts you the
most?" Their responses are amazing, not only in terms of the vast
number of people she evidently knew, but also in their ability to see the
comfort, pleasure and love in circumstances both every day and the
remarkable. From camping to walking to learning a cancer is in remission,
these folks open their hearts and their pens to share their own
interpretation of comfort and joy so that we might participate in our own
versions more completely.
Divided into quickly read
chapters, each one gives us something to think about and a new way of
looking at the mundane comforts in our lives, raising them to the
extraordinary status of absolute miracles.
Read it when you're happy.
Read it when you're blue. Read it when you're challenged beyond your
own abilities.
But by all means, read it.
