Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
I can remember as a child when I would start feeling sad or scared that I would listen to this song and it would bring me comfort. My parents had even found me this little basket of kittens that played that tune. When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel so bad. And what, may you ask are my favorite things.
Jesus Christ
The gospel
My children
My husband
Whiskers on kittens
Chocolate
Costa Vida Sweet Pork Burrito
Cross stitching
Bright happy flowers
Warm sunshine
Family Parties
My cat
Hot summer days
All things bright, happy and sparkly (but not vampires)
Those are just a few, but when I simply remember my favorite things, then I don't feel so bad. And now I really want to go watch the Sound of Music.
