My Favourite Things

These are a few of my favourite things...

A Road Not Taken




Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Fairy tales! - I love reading them, there's something so magical about them.

Chocolate
- Any day, any time


Music
-

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach

And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Day Is Done


Books
- I believe every child should be introduced to reading. It truly opens up a whole new world. A world of knowledge. Knowledge is Power.


Animals - The furry kind. Dogs. Such wonderful creatures! They love you no matter what. They forgive you no matter what. I just adore them and would do anything for them.

We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults. Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment. ~George Eliot


Food!
- I love food! I love to eat and I love to cook for people!

Drawing - I love to draw and I'd like to think I'm not too bad at it! :P

Writing - Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart. ~William Wordsworth
