Hi there friends,
I don’t know about you, but there are some weeks when I feel like I could easily be one of the kids curled up on the bed with Maria in The Sound of Music singing the song My Favorite Things. This has been a week when it would be easy to let my fear and worry get the best of me. This morning as I drove my kids to school I remembered this song and began singing it.
My daughter asked what I was singing. When I told her what it was and what movie it was, she mentioned she had never seen the movie. WHAT?! I have a hard time believing I have never shown my kids one of my favorite movies of ALL TIME! Guess what we’re doing tonight?! Yep! You guessed it… we are loading up on the couch with pizza & wings and watching The Sound of Music!
So in honor of the song My Favorite Things, here’s my list of My Favorite Things:
~ listening to the sound of rain outside my windows
~ snuggling with Greta (our dog) on the couch
~ a good book
~ dancing when no one is watching
~ clean sheets on the bed
~ coffee first thing in the morning
~ early morning walks
~ spring evenings grilling with friends
~ birds feeding their young
~ the kids playing with friends from the neighborhood
So what are some of your favorite things? I’d love for you to share them in the comments section.
