"These are a few of my favorite things"

When I was in 5th grade I was chosen by my teacher to sing with 3 other girls for a Christmas pageant. The song was "Favorite Things".
We practiced so much I began to dislike the song and seriously was not very fond of it up until about 3 Yrs ago when I heard Sissel, a Norwegian female vocalist, sing it and it was beautiful. Now I smile when I hear the song. Remembering the torture of practicing the song, performing it in front of so many people.....you have to understand, I was horribly shy when I was little and now I smile from the wonderfully, warm memories of my childhood and my 5th grade teacher, Miss Croston. What a sweet lady and wonderful teacher she was!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you! May 2011 be good to you.
