A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
SharynMarie, don't understand that you might have been off topic. Sorry if you felt that way. You are not off topic, you post anything you want, everyone will agree.
That fall smell that I can't identify but it smells soooooo good...a little sweet, a little spicy....kind of woodsy....I love it...
Getting Mama all settled in for the morning and taking a few minutes to get a good hot cup of coffee and just sit outside and "be still" for a little while and listen to all the sounds of fall.......so perfectly described by GA....so thankful for another beautiful day...
That simple fact is a favorite, that with all the burdens, he makes the coffee. Then sometimes, we make the coffee. Then, if he is not ok, I make the coffee. This serves as a silent, early morning assessment that he is not himself and will need extra care. Gotta go, cause there is no coffee yet.
The warmth of quilts, comforters, hot chocolate and throws on an equally chilly November day.
The sound of leaves slightly crackling as they're blown by strong winds across pavement on that same chilly, but very windy, November day.
The dancing of the highest tree branches as they're blown about by the wind on a November day with strong winds. The branches actually seem to perform their own variety of nature's ballet.
These are a few of my favorite things!
Puffy cheeks on kittys, and then again on rabbits,
Christening gowns hanging up to be,
The hope of a future, caregivers will see.
These are a few of my favorite things!
I was going to plant irises today but the rain won out. I love listening to the rain.
Send, I am happy we are getting rain and snow. We sure need it.
Some years ago there was a beautiful "latte' quilt" that got a lot of publicity. It was stunningly beautiful, in soft creamy colors; it's much too beautiful to ever be used. There's even a book of "Latte' quilts".
My favorite thing this morning is the freshness of the November air, chilly enough for a nice warm jacket and hat, but not too chilly for a walk. It is chilly enough that a nice batch of homemade bread would really make the house fragrant. The question is if I'm up to all that punching down as well as the anxiety of wanting the bread now instead of in a few hours.
It's also a nice day to wrap up in a quilt and read. That would be the easier option as opposed to punching down bread. But then, a book doesn't release the fragrant aroma of rising and baking bread.
LET IT RAIN, LET IT RAIN!
Take care of yourself. We'll still be here when you return, hopefully well on your way to healing.
