This month with NaBloPoMo from BlogHer.com the theme is Comfort. So far, I have completely enjoyed answering the prompts - they are all bringing back surprisingly clear memories that had been tucked away for far too long.
Today's query: Which would you rather have: a super-soft pillow or a warm, fuzzy blanket?
I still remember the moment I first covered up with a down comforter. It was my senior year in college. I was staying overnight at my friend’s home. She was actually my friend/employer. I cleaned her daycare center which was in the first floor of her mansion sized Morristown home.
She and her family were gone for the Thanksgiving weekend
and after I returned from Boston – where I spent Thanksgiving – to the
Morristown area, my dorm was still closed. She offered me to have free rein at
her home and I could still, then, do my steady Sunday cleaning gig as well.
The comforter was white. Clear, crisp white like I wouldn’t have ever seen in a home I lived in. It seemed crazy, to have something not only so white, but something that begged to be cuddled only I didn’t even have to wrap my arms around me, it felt like it automatically cuddled me.
I can replicate a pillow with a purse or a backpack or even a roll of clothes: I can’t replicate that feeling of being hugged by my bedding. A down comforter, anyday.
