These are a few of my favourite things.....

The title of this post conjures up an image of Julie Andrews running through a field in the movie The Sound of Music!

When I'm having an off day, I try and think of things that make me happy.  So here are just a few of my "favourite" things:

• that first day where the air is crisp and it feels like fall is in the air
• the aroma of freshly baked cookies
• curling up with a good book on a rainy day (and not feeling guilty 'cause the vacuuming's not done)
• hearing a toddler giggle
• the ocean - the ever present flow of the tide and the sound of the waves are so soothing
• when I receive a totally unexpected compliment for something (never underestimate the power of a simple "thank you")
• my dog who is so happy to see me at the end of the day
• seeing an adult and a young child walking down the street holding hands
• that first cup of coffee in the morning
• sitting outside on a Fall morning in front of a fire, sipping my coffee (kind of like camping, but even better)
• finding jeans that fit!  (that goes for bathing suits too)
• having a really good massage - the kind where you float out the door.....

I'd love to hear what some of your favourite things are.....
