My Changing Favorites

Changing Favorites

As a child people and friends often asked me my favorite things. Especially since I heard Julie Andrews say in The Sound of Music, 'when anything bothers me and I'm feeling unhappy I just try and think of nice things- green meadows, sky is full of stars, raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...these are a few of my favorite things'.

Since then I often wrote about the things I like and especially my favorite things all the time. But recently I noticed, in the last couple of days, that my favorite things and kinds of people are changing.
