One of the songs that came to mind was the famous song that begins, "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens," where Froulein Maria thinks of her favorite things and finds herself cheered up upon the reflection.
While the songwriter chose a fanciful and endearing list of favorite things, I wonder if I have my own list of ordinary lovely things that cheer me up.
Perhaps if I re-wrote the tune I would add things like:
Weekends with no alarm set
A good book and a cup of coffee or tea
Sparkles on the ocean
The long, entertainment filled, eager, adventure awaiting flight to Europe
Jasmine blooming
And last but not least, Christmas Eve. (Pictured below at my Mom's house.)
If you were to add a few favorite things to the song, what would you add?
