More Favorites...

I hope you read yesterday's post, if not it is easy to find but I will leave you a link right here.
I thought of another really special moment in my life, 
the first time I held my great nieces and the day I watched them cheer in a competition for the first time.
They wear the same colors I wore 
and cheer for the same team I did as a young girl and young adult, it's so special.
I thought of another movie I love - Before We Go, it's a good one.

Now let's go with a few more favorites...all of these pictures are mine.

Favorites...

In life, we all have favorites. 
A favorite moment, movie...color, but I think it is those favorite moments that bring us the most joy.
When we think about those moments, our heart smiles and we remember them with great happiness.
For me, being married is my greatest joy and giving birth, perhaps my greatest memories.
As I thought about my other favorites, 
I could not limit it to just one movie or song so I decided to list my top 5, even 5 was difficult.
