~A Few of My Favorite Things~

The smell of fresh coffee brewing and the way the first sip tastes.
Truly one of my favorite things.
Fresh cut grass, especially after a first rain has came.

Chocolate...ummmmmmmm I just couldn't imagine life without.
Ahhhhh yes favorite things are what it's all about.

The sound of the first cry from each of my four children.
The way they first felt and that new~born~baby~smell...so sweet.

Although there was pain, it's a pain I would gladly repeat.

Fresh washed laundry after it has dried in the sun.
And if you are still with me...hang in there, for I am not done.

The first purple iris transplanted from mother's garden that blooms in late spring, ah yes another truly favorite thing.

The first kiss from a new found love that makes you melt.
No other intimate feeling...quite so wonderful have I ever felt.

When a friend calls with good news...when previously, before they'd been singing the blues.

Snow on Christmas Eve night. Although it's been awhile since I beheld such a sight.

The smiles of my babies on Christmas morning...after santa has come and gone, and left without warning.

Scratch baked apple pie that warms the heart and appeals to the eye.
And sometimes, occasionally, a hot dog with mustard and lots of relish,
and original Lays Potato Chips as my side dish.

Leather...yeah that's another of my favorite things.
The feel of it, the smell, and when worn, even some of the attention it tends to bring.

Shoes, shoes, and more shoes. Italian leather my fave... Red ones, pink ones, black ones, and some are also blue.

The sound of my little ones laughter as I go about the day.
It will always be in my heart and ring in my ears long after the passing of these tender days.

Jesus. Sweetest name I know of, or have I ever known.
He is the most awesome to me...and so much love to me He has shown.

And this list could just go on and on without end.
But my goodness there are other things to which I must attend.

Yes these are a few of my favorite things. Such joy they always bring.
They remind me of how blessed I am and they make my heart sing.
These wonderful, beautiful, precious..."Few of My Favorite Things."
