I love "The Sound Of Music." I love old movies. I love how emotionally passionate and expressive they are. The characters are so passionately happy, passionately angry, and passionately afraid.
I was thinking about "The Sound Of Music" the other day and the song "My Favorite Things" became stuck in my head. I know you've heard of it. everyone in the English speaking world has heard the song... ;)
I always wondered how Maria came up with a list of her favorite things so quickly. I'd have to think about mine for a while. I change my mind a lot. My favorite things....
So I decided to think and compile a list of my own Favorite things:
Wanna hear it?
I love old movies. And chubby babies. And chocolate. And Fall. I love green- deep, dark, forest-y green. I love romance. And chivalry. And a certain smile my husband makes when I make him laugh. I love the way his face lights up, it makes me fall in love all over again. I love having hope. I love nail polish and the smell of salons. I love pictures. I love memories. I love soft hair. I love pine trees. and camping. I love music. and singing. I love babies being born. I love baby hands. I love first words. I love cloudy days. I love the smell of rain. I love good books. I love inspiring movies, ones that leave you wanting to be a better person. I love family. I love cookie dough. I love laughing.
I could go on forever!!
And I totally get it, now. Maria sang the song to cheer the children up during the storm, but I never thought about how compiling the list made her feel!
Listing your favorite things makes you feel so good. It reminds you of the good things in life, things to remember, things to be grateful for, things to look for.
I am so grateful for my life, and the opportunities I've been blessed with everyday to experience all of my favorite things.
My favorite, favorite things are my own husband, and our own children. They make everything worth it. They make my heart so happy and leave me wanting to be a better person.
Go! Write down your favorite things. Call it Sound Of Music Therapy! ;)
