Brown Paper Packages Tied Up With String

One of my favorite songs from the movie The Sound of Music is "My Favorite Things" and lately, it has been especially fitting for my life. (If you know the song, you'll know why...I've added a clip and words at the bottom in case you've never seen or heard the song it.)

Life being the way it's been lately, I decided to start a list of some of my favorite things... 

~ Old movies (They people in them always dressed so classy.)

~ Books

~ Daydreaming/planning my dream garden.

~ Soup, on a cold rainy day.

~ Interesting sounding words (onomatopoeia, deoxyribonucleic acid...)

~ Baby animals (the furry variety) ☺

~ Making things.

~ Christmas music, crafts, baking...

~ Walking/hiking/skiing in the woods.

~ Chocolate

My Favorite Things
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
