I imagine that everyone has certain "comfort places" that they can mentally go when they need to calm the hell down during an anxiety attack, or perhaps fall asleep when insomnia comes knocking. My mom says that she thinks of bike riding down the Cape. Brian probably envisions himself either swimming--or in front of his xbox doing battle with thirteen year old boys in a cyber-WWII universe. I really, truly don't know why, but I always think about being in my parents house, eating a grilled cheese sandwich and watching this:
For some reason this movie represents all that is the safety of childhood to me. Which is bizarre because it's about a little girl having to make a cross country trip by herself and there's a wolf involved. The Anne of Green Gables mini series can also do the trick.

my mental comfort place is the english chapel of my church back home in hawaii.
That sounds much better than mine.
well mine doesn't have john effing cusack!
my mental comfort place right now is anywhere that isn't work.
and following that, listening to the soundtrack to the jungle book on my way into work. seriously, it helps.
Newsies and the Anne of Green Gables movies got me through all of my illnesses as a child... and now when I am sad, I still bust them out!
every time I get a drink, I hope and pray it will be as good as the raspberry cordial Merilla has left in the cupboard.
