My Favorite Things

In light of the recent SNAFU that is my life, I have decided to try and focus on the positive. Which made me think of a song my mom used to sing to us growing up (& that I used to warble to crying babies when I was a nanny many many moons ago.) As made popular by everyone's favorite nun.come.matriarch, Maria von Trapp - and my very own mother.


Raindrops on Roses
Okay.... Roses in general.
Or flowers.




And Whiskers on Kittens
I'm also a sucker for ikat.




Bright Copper Kettles
Or anything that sparkles!



And Warm Woolen Mittens.
And boobs, apparently.




Brown Paper Packages Tied Up With Strings.
Or string bikinis.



These are a few of my Favorite Things. 

Cream Colored Ponies & Crisp Apple Strudels; Doorbells & Sleighbells & Schnitzel with Noodles.



Wild Geese Who Fly With The Moon On Their Wings.

 These are a few of my favorite things.


Girls in White Dresses with Blue Satin Sashes.
(or Long Black Dresses)



Snowflakes That Stay On My Nose and Eyelashes.
Not a drug reference, I swear.
It's Rogers & Hammerstein people!



Silver White Winters That Melt Into Springs.
Or Summer. Whichever.

These are a few of my favorite things...
So when the dog bites                                          or my life is a mess
When the bee stings...                                         & my phone is missing
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things... and then I don't feel so bad.

Or I call  my best friend. Or my mom. Or both.
