My Favourite Things

What does a woman do when she's feeling down and depressed? I learn from the best, and who better to learn from than Maria from The Sound of Music.

I decided to make a collection of the things that make me happy, my so-called favourite things. Bear with the change of lyrics, but sing along if you please:

~~~~~

Sunny days without the sunburning hot sun

Orange juice, KFC and porridge with chicken
Good hair days, healthy days, and days of carefree

these are a few of my favourite things.
~~~~~~

Cute little T-shirts and beautiful dresses

A swim in the pool or dancing with masses

Sitting alone and writing a poem
these are a few of my favourite things.

~~~~~~


Watching a play and performing is better

Singing aloud and sharing what matters

Cooking and colourful things that are rare

these are a few of my favourite things.

~~~~~~

When I feel down, when I'm depressed,
when I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favourite things,
and then I don't feel so bad.

~~~~~~


Warm hugs from those who love me and ditto
A warm mug of ginger tea or milk or Milo
Lazy days lying in bed without worry

these are a few of my favourite things.
~~~~~~


Old memories, laughing till sun hits my pillow

Ice cream, cheesecakes, raspberries and jell-O
Playing with kittens and making kids smile

these are a few of my favourite things.
~~~~~~

Old movies, sappy songs, moments alone
Acting silly, taking pictures of things known


Cuddling up, warm showers in the morning

these are a few of my favourite things.
~~~~~~

When I feel down, when I'm depressed,
when I'm feeling sad

I simply remember my favourite things,
and then I don't feel so bad.


So now I don't feel so bad!

Oh, and JP's officially moved out of Tiara.

Will miss such a dear friend. Promise me we'll still hang out sometime, and act silly as we often do!

my bad for mixing up 'shy' with 'introvert'- i always thought they were used synonymously

"Watching a play and performing is better, Singing aloud and sharing what matters"
the feeling you get when you go on stage and perform to a crowd is one of the best feelings in the world :D
