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?

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!

Last year, for my bday we took a ride to Vermont, I bought a little log cabin, inside is insence logs, you light the logs, and smoke comes out of the chimney.

And smells like pine, it is by far one of my favorite winter things.

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.

My favorite thing is a back porch, during the pandemic we redid to be a 3 season room.

Hubby let me design it. The ceiling is wood wainscoting, the walls are T-11 siding stained slate blue. I found a red velvet couch at a thrift store.

Decor, an old lobster trap hanging in one corner, antique lantern in the other. A wagon wheel on one wall, with an old fox fir stole, turkey back end feathers, black powder muskets. And old record player and records. Lots of windows and plants.

I'm just sitting here feeling so proud. It's my happy place! In the colder months, I turn on my electric fireplace heater.

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.

Jwellsy, if I haven't said it , welcome to the forum.

That sounds truly beautiful ❤️

Some find peace at the beach, me personally I'm not a fan of sand in places I don't want sand, or sharks for that matter.

I love mountains and streams, walks in the woods is my peace. In the dead of winter, not so much, but sounds utterly beautiful.

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.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Some of the most difficult words to say are:

"I was wrong"

"I need help"

and

Worcestershire sauce.
