6 FAVORITE CREATURE COMFORTS

Some of the things that make life enjoyable  don’t require much material wealth.  These are simple pleasures you can enjoy whether you live in a beachfront mansion or in a small apartment building. Here are my 6 favorite creature comforts.

#1. Comfortable bed.  No matter how your day has gone, or whether you’re coming down with a cold, the most welcome thing you can look forward to is a good night’s sleep.  If your mattress is hard, soft, or lumpy, watch for mattress sales.  This is the best investment you will make in terms of your own well being.

#2. Warm bath or  hot shower.  Nothing is more soothing than a long soak in a warm bath.  People don’t take baths so much anymore, but if you have a tub and the time, one of the most pleasurable things you can do Is sprinkle some bath salts in your bathwater, lay back, close your eyes, and bask in the solace of water.    Showers aren’t quite as relaxing, but they are refreshing and invigorating.  Who doesn’t feel good when they step out of the shower?

#3. Morning coffee.  We load up our coffee maker each night before bedtime, so that a press of a button makes hot coffee available in minutes.  Some people don’t like coffee, but maybe a cup of tea or hot chocolate?  Sit down for a moment and sip a warm beverage while  gathering strength to face the day.

#4. Sunlight on your face.  This is more difficult in winter, but now that spring is here, try to find 15 minutes to lift your face to the sky and bask in the warmth of the sun.  Doctors tell us that it’s good for our health to spend a little bit of time in the sun each day.  They don’t recommend more time than  a quarter or an hour in the sunlight unless you’re using a very strong (50) sunscreen.

#5 Fragrance of  flowers.  Besides enjoying the sheer beauty of all the flowering trees and shrubs, stop and smell the lilacs , hyacinths,  and all the other fragrant flowers and bushes.  If you don’t have your own garden,  you can always go to a park or step inside a florist shop.

#6. Curling up with a good book.   Never has it been easier to find a good book to read. If you don’t like downloading e books, go to the library and check out the latest best sellers for free!

Those are my favorite creature comforts, but you can probably add more to the list.  The next time you’re feeling frazzled and stressed, reach out for one of these creature comforts, and enjoy life!
