These are a few of my favorite things!!

Sitting in my cube on a Monday afternoon, me writing this blog… clearly suggests the amount of work I have to do. Well, no doubt I am experiencing what they call the Monday Blues….So this is just an attempt to cheer myself up on this otherwise dull and dreary day!!

Just as Julie Andrews sang, “These are a few of my favorite things” in “Sound Of Music” to feel good and strong, I will try to think of my favorite things that make me feel happy and cheerful. Let me see if it works.

Watching the just risen full moon in the sky, fresh yellow flowers in my flower vase, seeing my mom as soon as I wake up, my dad returning from work earlier than his usual time, smell of fresh baked chocolate cookies umm…, camping under the open skies, drenching in the rain, shopping in the hats section, the crisp sun as spring begins, the fall colors on trees, listening to Bryan Adams sing “Have you ever loved a woman!”, reading an Enid Blyton :) , eating pani puri at my fav local bandi wala with my sister ( :D ), planning for a road trip, bossing over Sushant( :d :d )…. I am already feeling a lot more cheerful than I was!!

Well.. to still continue with the list … chocolates, elephants, dolphins, talking with friends for hours on the cell fone, listening to Lata Mangeshkar’s melodious voice sing “Aaj Kal pao zameen par” …. Seeing a fat, cute, fair, baby smiling, watching FRIENDS ….. hiking, canoeing on a lake surrounded by tall green trees and forest …. Candles…, the azure sky, walking by the lake and watching sea gulls….. :)

Wow!! It does feel really good …. And am all smiles as I am writing this. Well Julie Andrews was right when she sang ….

When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I am feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things….
And then I don’t feel so bad!!
