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.....

  1. Spending the day on beautiful Georgian Bay with my hubby surrounded by nature.
    Seeing my daughter bursting with happiness over something...anything.
    Finishing a challenging cake and being absolutely proud of it.
