These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things...

... revised to fit my life.


Jamming out in a mud church to African drums;
Bright red notices on Facebook and warm fuzzy emails;
Yellow DHL packages full of exciting news;
These are a few of my favorite things.


Gooey chocolate brownies and crisp Tanzanian shillings;
Skype phones that ring and exceedingly fast internet;
Japanese Cherry Blossom lotion from B&B Works;
These are a few of my favorite things.


Little Tanzanian girls with 'pom-pom' hair-dos;
Raindrops that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Rainy winters that evaporate into hot humid summers;
These are a few of my favorite things.


When the neighbor's dogs bark all night long,
When the termites fly,
When I'm feeling sad,
I just remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.


*Original song written by Oscar Hammerstein II and Richard Rodgers.
