My favorite things

"Soft glow of candles and cozy warm slippers
A full bodied wine and pants without zippers
Crunchy nut chocolates, a novel that swings
These are a few of my favorite things!

When the kids fight, when the cold stings,
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply retreat with my favorite things...
And then I don't feel so bad!"

(Adapted from The Sound of Music)

It's a dreary gray Tuesday in January, not even a proper snowy winter. Taking a cue from Julie Andrews, I'm finding peace in savoring the little things in life that make me happy.

Sing it with me...

"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens..."
