    for fun

    this has way too many lines to be in your contest, but a while back, I wrote this to cheer myself up from depression and it worked. to the tune of the julie andrews song - here is my version.
    MY PERSONAL FAVORITE THINGS

    When I take fun trips to far away places
    Or put bright smiles on my children’s faces
    Movies & popcorn, and sunshine and spring
    These are a few of my favorite things

    Walking barefoot on bright, wet, sandy beaches
    Counting stars on summer nights of warm breezes
    “Goose-pimple music” & wild geese honking
    These are a few of my favorite things

    Romantic sunsets, & strong hugs & kissing
    Marsh mellows, campfires, & cards games & winning
    Loosing weight still eating chocolate ice cream
    These are a few of my favorite things

    When I feel bad & I’m so sad
    And I need a friend
    I remember God loves me just as I am
    & He helps me up again

    Making snow angels, and grandmother’s cookies
    Christmas lights twinkling and dressing & turkey
    Singing a Christmas song, composed by me
    These are a few of my favorite things

    Swimming and boating, and diving & chasing
    Laughter & giggles and picnics and daisies
    Good conversation and good company
    These are a few of my favorite things

    Watching my children go after their dreams
    Sharing their highs & lows and in betweens
    Their love & the times when they felt they had wings
    These are a few of my favorite things

    When I’m angry, when I’m lonely
    I won’t stay down long
    I’ll simply remember my favorite things
    And keep on singing this song.
