Eva’s Byte #294 – A Few Favorites of Mine
A parody inspired by the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein show tune, “A Few of My Favorite Things” (The Sound of Music):
When I'm feeling panademically anxious
I simply summon my favorite things
And then I don't feel so jittery
1. Pounding the keys, pressing thoughts into words drafting chapter 62 of my Contemporary work in progress, I listen to ambient Christmas music on You Tube. One such illustrative channel:

2. During the remains of the day, I find it comforting to watch a Christmas movie of yore, true to life. One of my recent favorites, The Fitzgerald Family Christmas (2012):

3. Surrounding myself with the mellow ambience of scented jar candles and battery-operated taper candles.
4. Indulging in one of my favorite freezer finds at the supermarket, Friendly’s Jubilee Ice Cream Roll. Consisting of chocolate ice cream and surrounded by a layer of chocolate chip ice cream, it’s topped with fudge, chocolate almonds, and a pink ice cream with candy chips.
Despite life’s dog bites and bee stings, may each of us take hold of the reins this holiday season by indulging in our favorite pastimes and pleasures.
*My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.

I no longer eat sugar, but in my dreams tonight I hope to taste that Jubilee Ice Cream Cake. Indulge in an extra slice for me. Best wishes for a better tomorrow. Cheers to you.
