Maria VonTrapp had to write her list down and sing about it, in order for us to remember her favorite things.
Oh yeah, WordPress! Well, the hills are alive too, but I’m still not singing about it! Not on your life!
In respect to answering a prompt without irritation, animosity or rude words that reflect my attitude about this third grade level question…
I made you 30 cookies!
Nobody does this prompt question justice, like Julie Andrews can! Literally, I thin that every single verse hits home on my list of happy. Think about it…
Raindrops on roses… soft and delicate
Whiskers on kittens… they tickle
Bright copper kettle’s… tea, coffee or cocoa… mmmmm
Warm woolen mittens… playing in snow
Brown paper packages, tied up with string… presents! Who doesn’t love presents!?!
Cream colored ponies… ponies!!!
Crisp apple strudels… to go with my coffee
Doorbells… loved ones
Sleigh bells… Santa!
Schnitzel with noodles… ok, I’ve never actually eaten this, but I’m sure it tastes good.
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings… breathtaking!
Girls in white dresses, with blue satin sashes… so pure and innocent.
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes… try to catch them in your mouth, too!
Silver white winters that melt into spring… all those new buds, birds chirping, and the smell of fresh spring air… aaahhhhhhh, pure bliss!
As you can see, the list only came to 14… 15, if you want to count schnitzel and noodles as 2. If Julie can make us feel happy without needing to come up with 30 different things, I shall follow her example.
Here, have a cookie…
This one makes 30 if you didn’t count the noodles

How Good is God
How good am i …
He MADE me
In HIS image…
You see me, but do you really?
b
If He is Upright and Just
do i follow suit…
If He shows me no anger
Is that what i portray…
If HE is the LIGHT
am i reflecting for you…
the light you might need?
b
He is a loving God
Collecting broken things…
He picked me up
Giving me wings…
To carry light wherever the darkness may be!

When I saw the prompt this morning, I was momentarily stumped. I can only be so creative, you know, before coffee even!
But, as I am ever an optimist… and a little crazy too, I have an idea!
Let’s go shopping! Everybody likes to shop, right?

Hop in for a ride
in my crazy mobile…
You won’t have to drive
Cause I am behind the wheel…
b
No need for a seatbelt
as I will drive real slow….
You should be able to enjoy this ride
With no motion sickness to show…

Let us first stop an the park
To feed squirrels and pick flowers…
Hope you enjoy it here
I come here for hours…

Let us go to the beach
b
We can swim in the water…
But we can’t stay too long
For the sun gets hotter and hotter…
b
Oh let’s please stop by a shelter
and lend them a hand…

Who doesn’t love to hold puppies
I wish puppy breath came in a can…
b
Let us head to the mountains
And camp for a few…
b
But when the marshmallows are gone
We must leave there too…
b
Then it’s home again home again
Jiggity jog…
For of the things that make me happy
Always lands with the dogs…

Now let me see if I count 30
In the list of what makes me smile…
If you didn’t count em all
Then you can ponder a while…

Have a cookie while you consider
How I came up with this number…
Of the squirrels, I know of 14
From the old Abbot
Up the ladder to the Acorn King…
There are 3 in the beach, camping, and driving
All those things are gems for me…
The park has flowers of all kinds
I say a dozen, without counting the trees…
Last but not least
Only one thing is left for you to see…
Some soft fluffy mongrel
Would be just perfect for me…
