Thought I would share this link in case it's helpful for anyone else out there. It's an article about "Portable Comfort - How to Carry Comfort With You".

One of the things it mentions is making a comfort book. I've started to make one and I must admit that I feel good every time I just look at it. I don't think I could have made it when I was feeling very unwell, but I can add to it on good days and hopefully it will help on bad days.
I've stuck in a heap of pictures from the cards on this site:

They are just so beautiful. Falls recommended one of the Comfort Queen's books to me and it was very good.
I also want to stick in pictures of beautiful gardens and photos I've taken. And I've written in a heap of things I like to do. I still find I need to plan activities in advance for every weekend or I fall into a black hole.
I must admit that I'm having a little bit of trouble getting started on writing feel good messages about myself in the book, eg things I like about myself, affirmations I believe about myself, etc. Which I guess isn't really surprising. I think once I get going I'll be right, it's just taking that first step. Probably need to be feeling real good to do that :)
Anyway, I hope someone else finds this helpful.
