... whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens .... Sorry Julie Andrews but none of these are
my favourite things! So today's prompt from Shimelle suggested doing a list of 'things' and so on a whim, I shall share a few of the things that make me smile:

Chocolate!
Especially chocolate from
Hotel Chocolat . It's expensive but sooooooo worth the money. This is real special occasion chocolate and I cannot walk past their shops without visiting as they are usually handing out samples of their latest ranges ... yum!
So sit me down on a sofa with a box of gorgeous chocolates, turn on the tv and let me watch
Grey's Anatomy. One of my all time favourite series, I love, love, love it!
We all need a little sunshine in our lives and gerberas are just the most sunshiney flowers going, their lovely bright colours guarantee to put a smile on your face.
but if you want to feel real sunshine on your face, hop on a plane to Faro, drive 45 mins down the motorway to
Praia da Luz in the Algarve, Portugal. Such a lovely place, and I am so lucky because my sister has a holiday home there so we usually manage to get over there every year.
It may seem odd to have Facebook under my favourites but is such a good way to
keep tabs on keep in contact with my son while he's at uni. He's one of those who updates his status on a regular basis so I love it when I log on in the morning and see what he's changed it to that day. I can also almost guarantee a reply to a message on Facebook whereas text messages often get forgotten!
So 'when the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad - I simply remember my favourite things, and then I don't feel so bad'!

Thinking of that sunshine in Portugal has now put a smile on my face too :)
And the chocolate's put one on mine!!
Great favorites! I'm also in Shimelle's class. xoxo
I also love Grey's Anatomy. Do you follow the Grey Matter blog? It's written by the writers of the show, and I love it.
Rinda
(who loves salted caramel chocolates best of all)
mmmmmmmmm...chocolate (but only if it is the dark variety!). Great post Deb! I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. Mostly I hate it. But a quick FB chat with Sarah while she is on your side of the pond really makes my day.
Hotel Chocolat --- mmmm! That's made me feel sunshiney already!
Lovely post Deb and I would go for chocolate as being one of my favorite things too.
I can see I've got an awful lot of blog-reading to catch up on. Love the haircut by the way :)
Brown paper packages - they're one of my favourite things!
(And I'm eating chocolate as I type, which I guess gives away another....)
ohhhh, I love your favorite things but would have to switch Saint John for Portugal although as long as it is sunny and coastal I'm sure I'd love your spot too
Uh-huh, I could deal with some sun in Portugal too! :-)
:o) Oh, Deb, your posts always make me smile. The favorite things sung by Julie Andrews aren't particularly my favorite things either. Hahaha...
I would put chocolate at the top of my list as well, and I hate to admit but I do love me some Facebook too. xo
Ditto your list I'd say...although I do prefer Margeurites to gerbera's, but they're both daisy like, so close!!!
BTW Thanks for the loan of the 'I think I love you' paperback, which Sian posted on to me & arrived yesterday!! i cannot wait to read it & then you must let me know who would like it next!!
Oh I do love Grey's Anatomy too!!
Mmmmmmm, the chocolate looks very yummy :)
