I bet you know the words by heart, “Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens…”

Those were Maria Von Trapp’s favorite things, but what are yours?

I’ve realized that some on my favorite things are the “old-fashioned” habits I’ve acquired in life, like writing with wooden pencils. I love the feel of the wood in my hand as I put down my thoughts on paper. Sometimes I use this as a mindfulness exercise and truly do feel much less stressed after writing.

What are some of your favorites “old fashioned” moments?
