My Favorite Things

Here is a list of some of my favorite things. (And for your information, I wrote this listening to the Sound of Music song on favorite things):
1. Large sweaters (particularly my mom's large sweaters from the 80's that my dad gave her)
2. Brand new school spiral notebooks (they make me want to write and fill the pages!)
3. Prescriptionless glasses (bought at Walmart, these are nice accessories and they make me feel smarter when I do my homework wearing them)
4. Luden's cherry cough drops (fabulous for a cough or scratchy throat, or just as a sweet treat, honestly)
5. Having conversations with my sister using only our eyes (we know what we both mean just by looking at each other)
6. Reading by candlelight (there is just something so beautiful about reading how others read in the past, before so much electricity and technology)
7. Coming home from school to find my cat Fred in the same place I left him (he's so lazy and sleepy and lovable)
8. Fresh, sweet berries with sugar sprinkled on them (they remind me of summer!)
9. Buying used books and finding underlined and highlighted passages in them (it tells you about their previous owners!)
10. Walking into school in the morning, feeling sluggish, melancholy, and craving coffee, and then seeing the lovely smiles of my best friends (they are God's greatest gifts!)
