Once again, I am seriously late posting my photo of the week.  Life has been a little hectic lately, and the seasonal illnesses are already making the rounds in my office.

The topic of this very late photo challenge submission is: Comfort.  Which is exactly what I needed yesterday.

For me, the ultimate feeling of comfort comes from a soft blanket, a good book, and a hot cup of tea.  This is one of the reasons I love autumn so much, the cold evenings are perfect for curling up in front of the fire and getting lost in a good story.

After a day spent hibernating in my cave nourishing my inner self, I feel more centered and better able to take on the world.  The time I spend alone with my books is not just about comfort, it is about restoring my strength remembering myself.

I hope everyone finds a little bit of comfort today.
