My favorite things, part II

Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens…

Wait a sec. Sorry, Maria, but that just isn’t me. Except for the raindrops part — I do love rain. Anyway, I thought I’d list my favorite things. (The reason for this string of posts, by the way, is that I’ve got a running list of posts to write, and if I don’t get caught up on them soon they’ll go stale.)

Drum roll please… In no particular order, then:

Wind; rain; morning air; beauty (in everything, not just in girls :)); loyalty to a cause; love; friendship; kindness; selflessness; families; thick grass; adventure; discovery; good writing; curling up with a good book in front of a toasty fire; Britain; British accents; fog/mist; learning something new; solving a hard math problem; little kids; well-done typography; understanding something in another language; finishing a project; blogging (go figure); a glass of cold water; almonds, pistachios, and cashews; Thai food; faithfulness (to the Lord); standing up for what’s right; music that gives me goosebumps or makes me cry; movies that make me want to be a better person; conquering challenges; smiles; getting a package in the mail; doing something nice for someone else without them knowing about it; the gospel of Jesus Christ; typing fast; maps; good hair days; belting Broadway tunes out in the shower.

Hmm, turns out I’ve done this before. Oh well, it can’t hurt to do it again. :)

I think you should make a song out of all of this, Julie Andrews needs a little competition.

Summer will be my songwriting spring. I’ve neglected music for far too long (as far as creating it goes), so expect some stuff before too long. Well, maybe. I guess it depends on if I get distracted by Beyond and book design and all that other stuff… :)

[…] Following on the heels of parts one and two, here’s a new addition to the My Favorite Things family.1 They’re in no particular order — I just write ‘em as they come. […]
