My Favorite Things

As planned, we went out for Iftar at the marine seafood with hubby's colleagues. On our way back, we listened to some of our all-time favourite songs and I, who was suddenly in a jolly mood, sang them out loud to Irfan. Oh, I missed doing that, I've been too busy thinking of all the problems inthe world that I forgot to enjoy the simplest things in life. Like being able to sing joyously in the car, in tune to the music playing on the radio.

I really should make it a point to stop and enjoy the simple things that used to bring me joy. You know, things such as these :

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 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.

Now, I hope hubby is in the mood to string his guitar for me!
