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.

Ok, how long did it take you to come up with that? Funny and great job!
I bow to your awesomeness! You are just too good. Maybe I should just stop blogging and put up a permanent link to yours.
You are somethin' else! And why you arent' already a famous blogger is beyond me!! I LOVE it!!
Awesome!!
You are so witty it's not even funny! I don't know why it would be funny, but anyway. I wanted to stop back by today and let you know that I nominated you for a couple of awards. You are definitely worthy of them!
