a few of my favorite things

Many times in life, we are touched by the actions of a special person, a thoughtful gift, or a heart-warming story. And afterward, our lives are never the same. the indelible mark left by such an experience is something that we treasure and hold dear to our heart for the rest of our lives. it becomes a part of who we are-and who we always wanted to be.

Sometimes, our favorites things come in shape of something big, like a trip to meet Mickey Mouse or a new dress. other times our favorite things may be in the form of less tangible elements-a cool breeze on a warm day, the mouth-watering aroma of a home-cooked meal, or the smile of a child.

Whether our favorite things are big or small, it is important to reflect upon the experiences we so often take for granted. Most of us do not think about the everyday things that make life so special and precious....
