The word chosen to write about this week turned out to be favorite.
Dictionary.com says: it is regarded as a special favor or preference.
When I think of favorite I tend to think of things that make us happy.
Feeling safe, comfortable and warm is a favorite of mine, although right now in the midst of a heat wave we don’t need to be warm.
It reminds me of the song in the Sound of music movie when Julie Andrews sings, these are a few of my ‘favorite’ things.
In the fall my choice of clothing is sweat pants or jeans with no elastic around the waist.
Then I add a v-neck 3/4 sleeved pull on shirt and warm socks.
If given the choice of desserts my favorite is warm marionberry pie.
If given the choice of what I would like to do, my favorite place is to go to the beach.
If given a dish of ice cream my favorite is pure chocolate by haggen dazz made with few ingredients and deep rich chocolate.
If someone knows me they know and realize I am a one who likes to stay at home.
My favorite place to relax in.
I love the fall and the cool autumn days mixed with the beauty of turning leaves.
I love Christmas and the festivities and traditions.
We can have favorite songs, cars or animals.
It is just a simple choice for us.
To say, these are a few of my favorite things.

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. ====================
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."
Courage is not the absence of fear but it's taking action in the midst of it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sharon, I really like your 'courage' quotes on your Sidebar!
We share many favorites, you and I. Being safe, comfortable warm is surely on the top of my list. Sometimes I wonder if I crave those too much. But, I am certainly warm these last days. Nice to meet you, FMF friend.
You have some delightful favorites, Sharon. I'm right with you on liking to be at home and indulging in some chocolate ice cream. 🙂
Blessings!
