Comforting thoughts

Comforting thoughts keep us going when times get tough. As Mary Cochrane writes in the opening poem, love is comforting - that virtue that makes us all feel worthwhile. Many other things give comfort too - memories of the past, the wonderful aroma of home cooking, confiding in someone who cares, simply cuddling a loved one, snuggling up in front of a roaring fire on a bitterly cold winter's day - such thoughts help maintain a positive mood. All these visions have one thing in common - love. So there you have it, an anthology crammed full of love in the form of poetry and short stories that will help provide comfort during times of need.
