A few of my favourite things

Instead of listing all possible 1^st world problems, I’d like to look to the positive and list some 1^st world advantages/good situations. If there come a time when the dog bites, the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad, and I have to sing about my favourite things, I don’t think doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles will cut it.

So I thought of making my own version that does not rhyme but may help with not feeling so bad – here are a few of my favourite things:

* Typing on a springy keyboard with freshly cut fingernails

* Having taken just enough pegs for the amount of laundry

* Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes (this I must agree)

* Hotel linen with high thread count

* Fresh bed sheets

* Tearing perforated paper

* Watching windscreen wiper do its thing in the rain

* Opening the fridge/freezer door on a hot summer’s day

* Clearing up the spam mail in my inbox

* Sticky date pudding

* Hearing the tiny stone getting sucked up and rattling in my vacuum cleaner

In some ways… I don’t feel so sad now, I just feel a little OCD. If only I could make them all rhyme, then I could write a song about all my favourite things.
