My Favorite Things

Its that time of the month where absolutely everything is aggravating me. I feel so negative and short with everyone, especially my family. Im sorry guys. I love you always and forever. Today, I decided that I would do something constructive and think of the positives. The things in my life that I love. I truly am blessed and Im also very simple. I dont need extravagant jewlery or vacations in Paris. Its the little things that make me the happiest. So, besides the obvious. . .my family, the gospel, etc. I dug down a little deeper and came up with this list.
While you're reading it, sing the words with the "Favorite Things" tune.

CSI, House, no reality tv.
Thunderstorms, hot baths and kisses from RP.
A clean house, a good book and hummingbird wings.
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cold milk, warm bread, fresh cut grass that I didnt mow.
Sleeping in, days off and singing in alto.
Tar Heels, The Doors, my unique wedding ring.
These are a few of my favorite things.

Aromatherapy, pedicures, massages; deep tissue.
Texting, soft skin, a day at work with no issue.
Spontaneous weekends with whatever they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the bills come. When there's bathroom scum,
When Im feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
and then I dont feel so bad!

That is awesome! You clever girl, you! There will always be moments in life where everything sucks, especially when you are a woman, so it's always nice to try to look at the positive and not get too down about it! I will now have that tune in my head all day long! I am sending a cyber hug to you right now!

Great words, Jem. Creative! We all need to look at the positives more often, thanks for the reminder!

Colett said her gratitude journal really made a difference in her remembrance of blessings. We should all do one of those. Your song was very clever! La la la la la la la la la la la.
