I love to reminisce.
I love to get all dreamy-eyed and talk about my favorite memories…
Sometimes it makes my husband a little crazy.
Every time we drive near where I lived as a child, I start getting all nostalgic. I talk about eating Jelly Bellies and dots during sleepovers, getting my braces tightened, riding in the back of my dad’s pickup truck with my friends, screaming “I love rock and roll…” or “Girls just wanna have fu-un” at the top of our lungs after a basketball game, or my neighbor chasing me down on his Big Wheel. (And then I talk about the time we filled his mailbox with firecrackers on the 4th of July.)
No, everything in my life hasn’t been perfect. There is some icky stuff, too. But we don’t need to talk about that right now.
I’d prefer to linger in all those beautiful memories God has granted me.
And I bet I’m not the only one.
So let’s share!
Beginning Friday, August 13, MomsToolbox.com will begin hosting Favorite Memories Friday as a weekly feature.
I’ll write about a favorite memory and you do the same. Then we’ll get all warm and fuzzy together.
If you host a blog, write and post about your own favorite memory to share and link to the week’s Favorite Memories Friday post on MomsToolbox.com on your blog. Then link up to your post using the linky tool. If you don’t have a blog or website, please share your memories with us using the comments section… I know you have good stories to tell, too.
You can write about any G-rated topic you choose.
Tell us about your favorite birthday party as a child, or the favorite birthday you hosted for your child. Give us a glimpse of your wedding day, your friend’s wedding day, when you first got your driver’s license, when you moved far away or came home, your a favorite day at school, cooking with your mom, playing freeze-tag with your friends in the backyard, learning how to ride a bike, when God provided and you weren’t sure He would…
Tell us what makes you all warm and fuzzy inside this week and link up.
And then print it out to save and share with your family for years to come and start thinking about what to share the next week.
So… what favorite memory will you write about and link up this Friday? I can’t wait to read it and see! See ya on Friday!
