Colorful stories:
This color is a cheerful and happy color that reminds me of the sky on a beautiful day and baby/sky blue has always been my favorite color

I choose sky blue because it is calm, quiet and peaceful. It reminds me of a beautiful summer morning spent alone under a shady tee, with a good book to read.

When I was little, friends of the family would come over to our house every Saturday night after church. I never liked going to bed because I didn't want to leave the "party." My mom's friend, Sharon, would sometimes volunteer to tell me a bedtime story to help me go to bed. One early fall night when she was tucking me in, we looked out my window and the sky was lit up. We had a contest trying to name the color of the sky and I said it looked sky-blue-pink. Sharon said she didn't think that was really a color, but it definitely described it. Now, when the sun is just right, the sky turns sky-blue-pink and I always think of Sharon and great bedtime stories.
