    Favorite things!

    I got thinking today about how everyone has their favourite books, films, places, food, songs etc. So what are all of you forumites favorite things? What makes you smile/tick/happy?

    One of my favourite songs is Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison, or any live band cover version. Makes me feel cheerful, get up and dancing and singing along to the chorus. I feel an affinity for Van, because he's from Belfast, like me, and some of his songs are about places and streets in Belfast that I've been in.
    (I've left Belfast as well, but I haven't done quite as well as him (yet) )

    Favorite things:...
    A tiney sea shell found on an isolated beach that very few people have even seen, let alone walked uppon.

    A small feather picked from the hold of an old pine tree who's wide boughs were sheltering me and my (then) dog from a sudden summer downpoar.

    A "garfeild and cross forks" pirate flag I painted... that the Yugoslavian boat police made me take down from the rigging.

    Cats - I just love cats - I think they are all so pretty and all so unique.

    My umbrella tree - or at least it was - I bought it at as a tiny weedy little thing at a supermarket' cos I felt sorry for it, I nursed it from the brink of death and had it for many years but it died recently.

    Diana Ross CDs - I was brought up on this music as a child - my dad worked nights and my mum, sister and I used to have discos in the living room. I love this music as no matter how fed up I am feeling, it never fails to cheer me up. Happy memories!

    My hair straighteners - sorry to appear vain but I hate my hair wavy- it looks so much better straightened!

    Hate cats, love wavy hair. Specially the "ruffled" look

    Sorry - guess we're just not meant to be {}

    Not having to set my alarm clock, knowing that when I wake in the morning, its because I have had a peaceful, and good nights sleep.... and I have woken naturally..

    That very first cup of tea in the morning, no other ever tastes soooo good....

    The smile on the face of someone you love, when you have made them happy...

    A very long cold drink, full of ice, on a hot, summers day....

    Walking along a beach barefoot at sunset, as the tide comes in to cool your feet...

    Looking up at a starry sky at night and wondering.... what's it all about??

    And sometimes, that perfect, perfect dance with someone.. very rare indeed..

    Dancing!
