863. 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. ~Lyrics written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein

 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
Doorbells 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

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy. ~Job 8:21  ✝

  7. When I was 11 years old, my dad was in Vietnam and my mom and sister and I moved a lot, staying with friends or relatives, due to my mother’s depression. That year I learned how to sing by listening to and singing with the album of The Sound of Music over and over again. I still sing those songs to cheer myself up. Thanks for the memories.
