Comfort Guide
n. 1 a) contented well being <a life of ease and comfort>

In hard times and chilly weather, a little soothing can go a long way. But comfort is about more than a great pair of slippers and a warm cup of soup. It's also about the things that make you feel safe, content, and just plain happy. We've compiled the most comforting things to satisfy your most important needs -- food, shelter, companionship, and spirit -- and promise that even just one of these things will make you feel more at ease.
