"Laughter is one of my favorite things. When you have a really good laugh, you feel great afterwards." - Bill Engvall

"Feeling great afterwards." That's the litmus test for favorite things. And our favorite things are even more powerful than helping us feel great, which is pretty great! 

When groups of people are asked to name their favorite things, their answers are often a reminder of how different our tastes can be. (See the partial, suprising list below.)

However, what our favorite things can do is something we have in common.

Using and doing our favorite things not only help us through bee stings and feeling sad, they help us see solutions and opportunities in problems. They help us be resilient. They lead us to joy and hope. Let's go there.

With love,
Charlene
