The result is A Patchwork of Comforts, a collection of comforting and comfortable things to soothe body, mind, and spirit.

• Alone Time: The only voice you hear is your own
• Aromas: Trigger memories
• Brainrest: A chance to recoup and regroup
• Crosswords: The right word satisfies
• Cuddling: Back to the womb
• Daydreams: Going to the movies free
• Dogs: Part of the family
• Vacation: A break from responsibility
• Water: Watch it, hear it, drink it, play in it
• Xtra Time: Ditching the clock lets you finish...whatever
• Young at Heart: Keeps you in the loop

There are plenty of comforting activities to take the sting out of even the worst days: sitting by a fire after a long walk in the cold/ watching birds in the back yard/ enjoying a big cup of homemade hot chocolate/ bathing by candlelighta weekend camping tripwith no electronic appliances. A Patchwork of Comforts is a homecoming in a bookwelcoming, warm, and wise.

A book written especially for "one of those days," dipping into A Patchwork of Comforts is like a long soak in a hot tub.
