Is Fraulein Maria right? (a silly post)

I was just thinking about all the recent posts from people who are really feeling down at the moment.  It makes me feel so sad and blue!

In the movie The Sound of Music, Fraulein Maria listed her favorite things in order to lift the spirits of the children.  I admit I find myself singing her song when I get blue.  Still just a silly girl, I guess!  Here is the song if you want to sing along.

My Favourite Things (Sound Of Music)

 

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 strudels,
door bells 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 a white dresses with a 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.

(repeat song)

 

 

Some favorite things of mine that lift my spirits are sitting in front of a roaring fire with a cup of hot coco, and splashing in puddles after a big rain.  How about you??

i love hot coco, bubble baths, driving in my car with the windows down while play'n loud music, and studding the bible with my mom. All of these things make me feel better. oh and baking !!!

I'm with Fallcolors and sitting by a roaring fire with cocoa, but if mine can be home made Irish Cream all the better!

I love when I have the get up and go to do all the baking and sewing that I love to do, which doesn't seem to be right now (might just be the incredible cold and my desire to stay under a blanket!!!!!) I love snuggling up spoon like at night with my cat on one side and my husband on the other, and I'm the filling of the sandwich! But most of all I love when my daughters are happy, cause then all is right with my world!

ditto to cocoa and puddles. Cuddling my baby girl is the current favorite. Also walks in the woods on a crisp day.

kitten whiskers and schnitzel are pretty nice too.

Getting homework done and making good grades makes me feel unbelievably good. Unfortunately, I added my precalc class too late so I had a quiz the day after my first class and got a FIVE out of twenty...I am not that bad at math...
BUT! I still think I can do really well :) Keeping a sunny outlook in spite of everything.
Other things? My animals(ten cats at and two dogs), cinnamon muffins with peppermint tea, and the smell of coffee or bacon. And sleeping in with my fiance..

A few of my favorite things --
-- My warm woollen mittens on a day like today. Brrrrrrrr! here in Washington DC! Now I'm settling in with hot coco, a wonderful fire, and the wiskers on my two purring kittens!
-- The way the early morning sunlight makes my bedroom glow.
-- Walks in the quiet woodlands along the Patuxent river.
-- The smell of spring's first cutting of grass.
-- The feel of my ultra soft, cozy sweater.

I agree, LMills! Walking through the woods in dappled sunlight makes my heart sing! Just something about sunlight. But I also love starlight -- a dark moonless night sky sparkling with bright jewels.

Walking on the beach at midnight with the moon relecting off the waves.

Crisp, clear, fall days at the height of leaf color (hence my name).

The smell of baking cinnamon buns and fresh cold apple cider!

yes this post is a great thing
