Good morning!! Happy Friday!! A lot of times I get complaints that I no longer do my “favorite things Friday” posts. I still LOVE Fridays. I still LOVE my many things, but I’m a one-woman show. As much as an enthusiastic, avid consumer that I am, it is surprisingly hard to come up with new favorites for every single week. Still, I do have a favorite thing to mention this Friday, once I relay to you my favorite story of the week. My favorite story comes from our middle son, who is a first-year resident doctor at a large, local hospital. He said that every day as he was doing his rounds in the hospital, he was constantly hearing this beautiful, piano like chime going off, every once in a while, throughout the day and evening. Our son’s curiosity got to the best of him and he asked one of the nurses what the chime indicated. She looked at him, smiled and said, “Oh, that’s when a new baby is born!” Beautiful! Hopeful! What could be better music to our ears?!
Okay, my favorite for today comes from my acupuncturist. Her music speaker in her office was broken, so when I was getting treated the other day, she pulled out a little gadget (Dr. T loves her gadgets. I like to give people nicknames. I call her “Gadget Girl.”) She said, “I normally use this for kids, but I think you’ll like it.” She was right. (I’m a huge kid at heart) The gadget is a white noise speaker (with all different sounds available) that also projects aurora borealis like colors and lights up on the ceiling. I promptly ordered one from Amazon when I got home. If you want to experience having what it feels like to have your own planetarium, in your very own bedroom, buy one of these little gems. There are all types to chose from on Amazon ranging from $20-$30. It’s the little things that bring us our daily joys!
Have a wonderful weekend, friends and readers. Shoot for the stars and listen for the tinkling chimes!
