A Few Of My Favorite Things

When you're feeling a little blue,

what helps to cheer you up?

Perhaps, you lose yourself in a book,

or call a good friend.

Possibly, you work off your anxieties at the gym, 

or laugh yourself silly watching a funny movie.

It could be that you pour yourself a stiff drink,

eat an entire box of Mallomars, 

and head to the mall to buy ten pairs of shoes.

(Although, I really can't imagine who would do that).

Or maybe, on those days 

when the dog bites,

when the bee stings,

when you're feeling sad,

you simply remember your favorite things...

(sing it with me, now)...

and then you don't feel...so...bad!

Now that I've gone all Julie Andrews on you, 

here are a few of my favorite things.

Traveling the world, reading a best-seller
Days at the beach, and a jar of Nutella
Jelly beans, football, watching birds spread their wings 
These are a few of my favorite things...

Magazines, family, friends, ripe avocados
Baking, and sunsets, Trader Joe's aficionado  

My deck, and my dog, and some animal-print bling
These are a few of my favorite things...

A good cup of coffee, a pair of new shoes
Fall colors, and lighthouses, fireworks, too
Cheese, and Greek pastries; the first signs of spring
These are a few of my favorite things...

  When I gain weight, 
When the bills come,
When I'm feeling sad...
I simply remember my favorite things, 
And then I don't feel so bad! 

What are some of your favorite things?
