These are a few of my favorite things

Yes, I adore the Sound of Music, and one of my favorite songs is "My favorite things." I've been contemplative lately...thinking of friends, family, how I've been blessed, and not wanting to forget any of these things. As the song goes..."when the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I've feeling sad. I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel...so bad." Some days bring such excitement and enthusiasm that you can't contain yourself. Some days you are so proud of your accomplishment and know you are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing. However, some days don't go quite the way you expect. Some bring surprises, some disappointments. Some days you want to walk away from what you are doing and just go to bed, or start fresh the next day. The difference in the good days and the bad days is how we approach them. I pray that with each day I meet the challenges as they come, that I use the wisdom God gave me, and that in the end, I honor him in everything I do. To celebrate today, here are some photos of my favorite things!
