These are a few of my favorite things....

Appreciating the simple joys in life and remaining focused on what really matters brings happiness. Pondering this bit of wisdom brings to mind several of my favorite films. Can you guess them?

* "George Bailey, you're the richest man in town!"

* "When you're worried and you can't sleep, just count your blessing instead of sheep, and you'll fall asleep counting your blessings."

*"Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens"

*"The Glad Game" (hint - Hailey Mills)

I'll post the answers at the bottom. Post a comment with some of your favorites!
