Maria had that right idea when she harbored in the von Trapp children on that stormy evening to sing about their favorite things. The best pick-me-up for fear, sadness, frustration and anger (for me at least) is to think of all of my favorite things.
So. these are a few of my favorite things:
- smiling strangers
- rain and wind and snow and clouds
- NABI
- blogging
- the smell of books
- accomplishing goals
- balloons
- the pattern branches and leaves make against the sky
- watching the grass twitch
- taking everything out of my purse ,cleaning it and putting it back inside
- take-out and a movie
- Japanese paper
- ranunculus
- improvement
- inside the ocean
- coffee
- printmaking
- Haifa, Israel
- the overwhelming feeling i get walking into a library, bookstore, or Ameoba
- roadtrips
- sleepovers
- midnight snacks
- the piano
- mes amis
- the inevitability & necessity of unity (and that somehow, hopefully, i get to be a part of it)
- being a woman
- my cameras: fisheye and actionsampler
- making this list.
You should make a list of your favorite things too. it's quite fulfilling.
love.

"taking everything out of my purse, cleaning it and putting it back inside"
this is simply euphoric.
and that overwhelming feeling of walking into a book-laden building, i'm right there with you, overwhelmed at the possibilities.
you've just inspired me to go get take-out and a movie!
hooray for lists!
