My Favorite Things . . .

 

 

A few of the things that make me smile, bring happiness and joy, and make my heart go pitter pat. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I say it's worth a thousand smiles.

A slice of lemon in a hot drink, even hot water.  A slice of lemon adds a lot to most drinks!  I think its also very good for you!  (I could be wrong, but I just like it.)

Carrots. I love carrots. They are one of my favorite vegetables. Mom always said they help you to see in the dark. I don't know about that, but I do love to eat them!

At the risk of repeating myself, which I often do, but you love me anyways . . . I hope . . .  ginger cats!

Hugs. I love hugs. One size does fit all. Now that I live on my own without any other human contact for the most part, they are even more important. I love them.  I am a huggie person.

Frosted windowpanes. I used to love looking at the patterns in the frost when I was a child.  Sometimes I would use my fingertips to melt them. You hardly ever see frosted windowpanes anymore. In Winnipeg we used to have to put special inserts on the inside windows of our cars to keep them from really frosting up on the insides.

I hope that you have a beautiful day filled with lots of your favorite things.  We had a light dusting of snow overnight and they say tomorrow we are going to have the first major snowstorm of the season. I guess I better go out today and get in a few bits just in case I am stuck here for a few days! Whatever you get up to today, stay safe and warm and don't forget!
