A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?

My favorite thing to do lately is adult Coloring! 😁😁 Gee there is a lot to it, do you use markers, gel pens or colored pencils, what colors go good together. Learning shading to make things look like they pop! Anyways, this has been my passion for now , anyways.

Not sure what I'm going to do with my pitchers after, but they say doing something you enjoy is never a waist of time.

Song sung by Mercy Me
They say sometimes you win some
Sometimes you lose some
And right now, right now I'm losing bad
I've stood on this stage night after night
Reminding the broken it'll be alright
But right now, oh right now I just can't
It's easy to sing
When there's nothing to bring me down
But what will I say
When I'm held to the flame
Like I am right now
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
They say it only takes a little faith
To move a mountain
Well good thing
A little faith is all I have, right now
But God, when You choose
To leave mountains unmovable
Oh give me the strength to be able to sing
It is well with my soul
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, and I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
You've been faithful, You've been good
All of my days
Jesus, I will cling to You
Come what may
'Cause I know You're able
I know You can
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

WHEN PARENTS GET OLD ...
Let them grow old with the same love that they let you grow ...
Let them speak and tell repeated stories with the same patience and interest that they heard yours as a child ...
Let them overcome, like so many times when they let you win ...
Let them enjoy their friends just as they let you …
Let them enjoy the talks with their grandchildren, because they see you in them ...
Let them enjoy living among the objects that have accompanied them for a long time, because they suffer when they feel that you tear pieces of this life away ...
Let them be wrong, like so many times you have been wrong and they didn’t embarrass you by correcting you ...
LET THEM LIVE and try to make them happy the last stretch of the path they have left to go; give them your hand, just like they gave you their hand when you started your path!

Happy Birthday, and after Christmas birthdays to the December born people.

My dH is a December birthday, tomorrow. Another reason to celebrate!
He is getting a new wedding band, after losing his gardening, he says.

Happy Birthday to our friend Luckylu! She deserves a Happy Birthday this year, always giving to everyone else!

Many happy days ahead!

nacy - Vermont is a lovely place to visit and the smell of pine...

psue - I remember Lincoln Logs. We had a set when I was a child. They are great toys. The plastic wouldn't do it. Amazing they are still available.

Nacy, I’ve seen those on line, they are adorable. I bet the one you have is super special since it comes with memories of a fun trip.

I order evergreen scented candles from the same company every Christmas and save the little tins for GD so she can store odds and ends in them.

Speaking of log cabins and favorite things, I decided to order a set of Lincoln Logs this year so my GD can construct villages on my console table as Christmas decorations. Egads, the price!
So I ordered a big off-brand set called ‘Wooden Logs’ - much cheaper. I got them yesterday. They are plastic. Rookie Amazon mistake! I’m sending them back and have already ordered a much smaller Lincoln Log set at a much higher price. I figure I can add sets to it over the years. In about 10 years (and several hundred dollars) I should have the village I envisioned, and maybe a great grandchild to build it!

I've been watching a match-making show. It's interesting to see how some people choose to meet their future spouse. I met my husband randomly through a common hobby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Golden I immediately recognized the version you quoted, but although the singing is amazing I have to say I've always thought it sounds like he forgot the lyrics and just kept singing anyway LOL

If it's not your burden to carry, you may just have to put it down.

It is really really true that no good deed goes unpunished.

I never learned to wait to be asked to help. I just see a need, and fil it.

One of my favorite things is snow skiing. South Lake Tahoe has a famous ski resort called Heavenly. From on top of the mountain you can see the beautiful blue shades of Lake Tahoe which never freezes because it's so deep. The top of the mountain is a very harsh environment and it's right at the top of the tree line. The few trees that do manage to cling to life between the boulders are ancient gnarly contorted figures. It looks like a giant natural bonsai garden. The first thing I like to do when get off a chairlift at the top is get off to one side and say a prayer thanking God for making such magnificence for us to enjoy. I swear that standing at the the top of Heavenly Ski Resort, I can actually hear angles singing.
