I have been entirely too cynical lately and I am making this post in regards to that.

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

We all have a list of our favorite things. These things are often used in "getting to know you" games and when you meet new people. I think that the things you favor are defining qualities of you. Maybe you can tell a lot about a person from their favorite color, favorite food and favorite movie, but what about all the other things that person may favor. Personally I have a lot of favorites. I guess you could also think that these things are my favorite because they put a smile on my face and make the day a little better.

So....here are just a few of my favorite things, pictures and quotes.

“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, 

and for everything you gain, you lose something else.” 

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
