Trifecta: Mostly My Favorite Things


1n 1959, Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote the music for the Broadway production, The Sound of Music.  One of the most famous songs from the musical is "My Favorite Things."  Since its inception, the song has been covered by countless artists, and we're asking you to follow suit.  Give us a few of your favorite things, in whichever form you want, in 33 words exactly.






Dawdling hugs, snuggle fests, passionate lip service

With pizza.

Laughter weary cheeks; smiles meant purely for me.

Clever words embodying every genre.

voices, fingertips, blue irises

tears, seasons, breezes

moments, memories, dreams

You.

Very touching. I especially like, "smile meant purely for me". Well written, GIna.

I liked that line "with pizza". Pizza, like ice cream, makes many things better.

You made me miss my kids, who were with their mother this Thanksgiving. Well, I was missing them anyway. This is beautiful!

Love the ending.

TMWHickman said...

It is a known fact that everything is better with pizza. Loved the ending!

Gina said...

I like them too!

Gina said...

That's probably my favorite one, Tom. Thanks for the nice comment.

Gina said...

Give me pizza any time, any place and everything, I mean everything, is better!

Gina said...

Sorry to make you miss them more but you'll see them soon and for Christmas! Mine...right now...are driving me a little nuts (not toddler nuts but crabby adult nuts). Then just under 3 weeks and they're back. Woo Hoo! Thanks for liking my things.

Gina said...

Thanks, Renada. Mine are and always will be people and feelings related.

Gina said...

That "You" encompasses a whole lot of "you" s. It's all the people who are important and special to me.

Gina said...

Me, too. Thank you.

Gina said...

It is. It even says it on Wikipedia ;-) I love everything about the "You" at the end.

Loving the "dawdling hugs" that's exactly how they feel...Perfect

Do you know how good you are, Gina? I gave you a little shout out on my own Trifecta this morning. Sometimes I think style like yours -- creating resonant little slices of life -- can be underrated. But I love it!

kymm said...

What a broad list of favorites. And yes, pizza!

Steph said...

I love your constantly upbeat style, Gina. Sweet list of faves.

Gina said...

YES! I love hugs that are not rushed and you can just linger with your chosen one.

Gina said...

Gal! You are far too kind to me but I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm honored and humbled you feel this way AND I'm so happy you said this today! This is a partial list, a brief snippet of favorite things. It always comes back to the people in my life.

Gina said...

Thank you so much Stephanie! I try. If I don't put forth the effort, it's easy to slide into feelings of negativity, at least for me. I can bitch with the best of them but it makes me feel like crap after.

Of course I love my favs, too!

Gina said...

Thanks, Barbara!

Gina said...

Yes, broad but also only scratching the surfaces and really only about one real of thing...33-words and all. I could live on pizza forever. It makes me happy.

Bo said...

Love this! Great list.

Gina said...

Thanks, Bo!

That's lovely, Gina.

Gina said...

Thanks, Steven. A night of pizza and kissing = awesomeness!

Gina said...

Thank you very much!

According to Mags... said...

Very heartfelt. Love it!

Gina said...

I felt my heart tug when I was thinking of it, too! Thanks you!
