Comfort, Solace

To take one's mind off of his troubles An endless variety of games... For comfort, solace help with the struggle Find a quiet spot ~ Fervently call His Name

I feel the calmness in this one. Very Zen.

I am mostly a homebody by nature, so it has not been as stressful for me to stay home - but finding solace is sometimes a challenge!

Solace is never easy... Perhaps the word comes from solo = one, alone... Aha! Just looked up the etymology. I was wrong. The word comes from solari(Latin) to console. Thanks for the observation, Michelle. Warmest wishes, Gershon

Thanks, Tom. This advice I take myself, and it works for me every time. Cheers, Gershon
