The Simpsons

In The Simpsons Movie, gloom and doom is coming to the streets of Springfield. You see the church a few doors over from Mo's Bar. With the impending dark cloud approaching, here is how the citizens of Springfield respond: the churchgoers dash out of the church and race into Mo's Bar. The patrons in Mo's Bar dash out and run into the church. HA!! I loved the social commentary!

Everyone has their own way to seek out comfort when the crisis is looming. Watching this movie the other day, I thought to share an idea with you - that it is important we each have a "comfort list." A list of things we can do to comfort ourselves in times of need. It may be easier on us to know we are prepared, so that if the occasion arises, rather than go into fear and upset, we can dash to our comfort list and feel relief.

Here is what's on my comfort list: call a dear friend, watch a trusted video, listen to Abraham to get back in alignment, get myself to the beach, go to 7-11 on an emergency run for some Ben and Jerry's, journal & do automatic writing, pray, read from a beloved Spiritual book to be reminded of the Truth, watch a favorite stand-up comedian on Youtube, have a dialogue with God, ask my Spirit Guides for insight, or listen to a Sanaya Roman Meditation CD. Not necessarily in the above order!

What would you put on your comfort list? You may want to write your comfort list on a 3 x 5 card and keep it handy. Feel free to share things from your list with us by posting a comment.

May you always find comfort...
