If
there’s a song I hum when I am happy, sad, angry or frightened…it has to be ‘Maria’s
list of favourites’ from the movie ‘The Sound of Music’!
It’s
my mood shifter (apart from chocolate, ofcourse) because it makes me think and
thank my list of favourite things!
There
has to be some serious magic in the two little words, ‘Thank You’!
It
makes us feel blessed, happy and full….the way we feel after enjoying that
scrumptious Sunday lunch!
And
so sitting idle on this silly Saturday noon that’s going nowhere, I give Maria
a break and make my own ‘Like List’.
A list of things that I do every day and don’t,
things that I share with others and don’t, and most importantly, things that
never let me down and won’t!
So
here we go….
I
Like,
Being
Alive
A
bright, happy Sunshine
An
impulsive thought and taking the dive
An
unusual place and great company to dine
All
matters of the heart
Anything
in red
Baking
that complex tart
My
corner of the bed
Little
girls who make daddies proud
Little
boys called ‘Mamma’s pet’
Music
worth singing aloud
Promises
that are kept
Feeling
fine after an endless whine
People
bereft of spite
Waiting
for the One I’ll truly call mine
Arguments
that don’t end up in a fight
Long
drives on a silent night
Strong
winds blowing in my face
Working
hard with all my might
White
linens cornered with lace
Smiles
and giggles that brighten the day
Chocolate
that’s lots and warm
The
city I’ll always call ‘Bombay’
The
thought that someday I too will be ‘Mom’
Lots
of ‘Yes’es
Less
of ‘No’s
Heartfelt
prayers
A
fresh fruit Gateau
Laughing
loud
Helping
out
Sleeping
sound
And
then the wish that this list goes on and on…..
