When Julie Andrews sings “Favorite Things” it gives me a warm “Towel-out-of-the-dryer” feeling. She finds comfort from simple things and carries those thoughts through the rough times. I think that it is a survival instinct to find light in the dark, joy in the sorrow.
(Not that I am feeling sorrowful) I just want to share some of my favorite things. You can sing along with the tune if you know it…
Girls in bed sleeping and a warm plate of burritos,
A sunny day outside that is void of mosquitos.
Being able to find my cell phone and key rings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Savings with coupons and a day on the lounge chair,
Kisses from children and not having to do my hair.
A day picking flowers and not one bee sting,
These are a few of my favorite things.
A good book to read and a warm cup of coffee,
The house already clean and my mom’s homemade toffee.
Playing with the kids on the big slide and playground swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the bills come,
When my makeup runs.
When I am feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad.

You are so wonderfully creative! I love you! Here’s my little contribution!
Beautiful women, the friends I call mine
Finding the ordinary perfect and sublime
Theatrical children who dance and who sing,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the coffee’s gone,
and the list is long,
when I’m feeling mad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad.
Pure genius! Loved it. I’ll have to ponder my favorite things for awhile.
Home made toffee made it? I’ll have to make you some!
I want some, too! 🙂
