AUTHOR CAROL WISEMAN asked people around the country to send her descriptions of their favorite comforts. The result is A Patchwork of Comforts, a collection of comforting and comfortable things to soothe body, mind, and spirit. Comforts are organized alphabetically--and Wiseman adds sidebars with bits of trivia, and even comforting recipes, such as a recipe for Zabaglione, a dessert sauce.A-to-Z comforts include:* 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* X-tra Time: Ditching the clock lets you finish...whatever* Young at Heart: Keeps you in the loop* ZZZ's: Renews and reactivatesThere 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 candlelight; a weekend camping trip--with no electronic appliances.A Patchwork of Comforts is a homecoming in a book--welcoming, 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.
