My Favorite Color

Favorite is a difficult term for me for some reason. When asked what my favorite ____ is I usually respond I do not have a favorite. I said that many years about my favorite color. That has changed. I started to think about what my favorite color was as a child. Though I loved pink and anything with a lot of lace (shocking I know) my favorite color for a long time was red. That changed one day when someone told me that I could not wear red, it did not look good on me. So, I abandoned having a favorite color. That is until I started dating Grant. With the last name Allred I rekindled my love of the color red. There is no question now that it is my all time favorite! One just needs to look at the amount of red shoes Jamison has owned. I love red for so many reasons. It is such a happy cheery color. It reminds me of lady bugs, which I have always loved. I love red tulips, they are so beautiful! Red also happens to be the color of the last school from which I graduated. I love Jamison's red glasses, the way she looks in them makes me smile! The way leaves look when they are turning red is beautiful. I wish I could pull off red lipstick, but I cannot. I love the look of a shiny new red car or truck, but would never want to maintain one. It also takes me to one of the main colors of Christmas (my favorite holiday...but that is for another entry.) Needless to say red is my favorite color and there are so many wonderful associations I have with this particular color.
