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?

Knowing Jesus, my Savior and Lord!
Trusting that Jesus will see me safely through today.
On a more positive note, today is one of those quiet peaceful days, with only an occasional rain drop breaking that silence. The snow has been melting, revealing more of the precious earth that supports us, in so many ways. Little black squirrels are scampering around, perhaps either finding more space to hide their precious acorns, or retrieving them for today's meals.
The temperatures hover around freezing, creating tiny icy crystals of some of the raindrops which sparkle like diamonds and remind us of how much beauty exists in this season.
Today is a good day to wrap up in a quilt and read a gardening magazine or a good book. I'll do both, accompanied by a cup of hot chocolate, or coffee if I'm not too lazy to make a pot.
And so, good Saturday morning to all (except trolls).

Not your favorite god, I guess.
I need an open space to retreat to, with an edelweiss growing up from the rocks.
That would be fun. 😊
I love that your friend got the part. It’s a lot of fun. I always had butterflies just before going out on stage. But once I got out there it was great. It really helped me have a focus for my emotions as a kid. A teacher had suggested it to me. At first I told her no. She asked me to reconsider and she was right. It became a positive experience for me.
She was more mentally bright for months after the challenge.
Need, you should find a singing group.
Another reason to go to church.
There is nothing the matter with me
I'm as healthy as can be.
I have arthritis in both my knees
And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze,
My pulse is weak and my blood is thin,
But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.
Arch supports I have for my feet,
Or I wouldn't be able to go on the street.
Sleep is denied me night after night,
But every morning I find I'm all right,
My memory is failing, my head's in a spin
But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.
The moral is this - as my tale I unfold,
That for you and me who are growing old,
It's better to say, "I'm fine" with a grin,
Than to let folks know the shape we're in.
How do I know that my youth is all spent?
Well my 'get up and go' has got up and went.
But I don't really mind when I think with a grin,
Of all the grand places 'my get up' has been.
Old age is golden, I've heard it said,
But sometimes I wonder as I get into bed,
With my ears in the drawer, my teeth in the cup,
My eyes on the table until I wake up.
Ere sleep overtakes me, I think to myself
Is there anything else I could lay on the shelf?
When I was young, my slippers were red;
I could kick my heels right over my head.
When I got older, my slippers were blue;
But still I could dance the whole night through.
But now I am old, my slippers are black;
I walk to the store and puff my way back.
I get up each day and dust off my wits,
And pick up the paper and read the 'obits'.
If my name is still missing, I know I'm not dead -
So I have a good breakfast and go back to bed.
Panera Bread did not sell salads with romaine lettuce.
Lol.
No salad whatsoever on my Thanksgiving table.
I checked Kellse,
Panera's salad says fresh mixed greens. That is most likely a spring mix not including Romaine lettuce. That looks so very good! Yum.
