I Love Pink

Pink summer sandals

I think I was destined to love the color pink. I have a twin sister, and our mother found it enjoyable to dress us alike. For many years, even into our teens she would buy us the same outfits, but in different colors. I always got pink; my sister got purple.

During my birthday trek to Target, I spotted these pretty little sandals. They were on clearance which made them even more lovable! Of course I had to buy them, but I knew that wearing them required a new polish...bright pink to match.

Whenever I see this color I think of how my youngest daughter says the word pink. It sounds like "peenk" and it makes me smile each time it comes out of her mouth. Sometimes we get her to say the word just to hear the sweetness in her voice.

The other thing that goes through my head is one of my favorite quotes spoken by one of my children during a serious conversation with her cousin, "I broke up with pink. Yellow's my new favorite color." How awesome is that? Her love of a color was relational and pretty simple.

As I was shopping I realized that it's important that I find the fun around me. A color can be fun. Flip flops can be fun. The way my daughter says a word is fun. My child's view of the world is fun, and let's face it...clearance at Target is SUPER fun!
