Noted: What’s Your Favorite Memory?

I really enjoyed watching this, Thanks! :D One of my favorite memories is when I went to sugar loaf mountain in Michigan, with my family when I was a kid. We took a long hike down this trail, that as you got closer to the lake; the large rocks became smaller and smaller and the beach was full of tiny, tiny pebbles. In the water were these large flat rocks and I waded out to one and laid down and looked up at the sky, it was bright blue with large fluffy clouds floating by. What a magical day.

Hi! i have a lot of beautiful memories and is difficult to choose one, but i´ll do it for you :) My favorite memory is when I was a kid. My brothers and I lived in a house near some ruins in Amorebieta (Spain). We called those ruins "The Castle". On summer nights we used to see the stars and when the moon was full we ran across the fields laughing and making up stories. I can still feel the warm wind and the moonlight making strange shadows on the trees. May the bohemian spirit be with you!

What a great gift for this Sunday! Loved watching the joy on people's faces and also the shots of my great hometown, Chicago. One of my favorite memories is backpacking the Canadian Rockies and feeling a part of something so magnificent.

My favorite memory is when I smell the ocean on a November morning driving towards MIami Beach Florida. It's different in that I know winter is coming and it's so fresh to the senses coming from the city. Every year reinforces that same memory of the ocean smell.

This is terrific! One of my favorite memories is from a Chicago vacation a few years ago with my teenage son and my sweet husband. We're from Florida and we made the trip in late summer, we had been melting a little eachc day in the Florida heat and humidity. Chicago was having a cool front at this time and we thought we must be in Heaven, it was brisk, fresh, cool, and we had the time of our lives. We all three have romanticized and dreamed of Chicago ever since, having made such sweet memories for us.

Wonderful idea! Watching this made me feel that asking strangers this question and having all of us listen to their answers makes us part of the human experience. One of my most favorite memories was attending a James Taylor concert at Tanglewood in August of '09. So many fun events that night...the pouring rain that everyone was desperate to get out of by setting up tents on the lawn...the amazing show that James Taylor put on and so many more fun things that night. It was just an amazing time. And the best part? I shared it with my husband. I just felt that we were the only two people in the world sharing those laughs with him that night (even though we were part of a very large audience). I think another great question to put to people would be: what is your most embarassing moment? Another: what was your most humbling moment? Another great article that makes you stop and think and appreciate the joys of life.

Beautifully put together. Thank you for making my Sunday all the more beautiful. My favorite memory? I, too, have a lifetime to reflect upon. I think one that comes to mind is when I was five years old. My mother was in the hospital so I walked over to my friend's house. She showed me her dog who had puppies. Diane, asked if I wanted one. Of course! I remember picking a small black and tan squirmy love. I didn't ask for parental permission, I simply walked home with her. I don't think my father stood a chance looking into both of our eyes. I named her Happy because that is what she made me. To this day, I refer to her as my HAPPY thoughts.

The first thing that comes to mind when I remember favorite memories was when I was about 7. My mother worked long hours but occassionally she came home before dark. She would bathe my brother & I, put us in our cotton pajamas and take us to the Burger Shack. On the way, we rode with the windows down and the warm air blew in. There was no stress & we enjoyed each other's company. So, to this day, during the spring & summer months, when I take an early shower & put on something comfortable & walk outside near dusk, I remember the rides to the Burger Shack. Thank you for taking me back.

so great!

really intense project, simple - yet humanizing. Makes you remember that everyone is an individual with vast variances in life.

My favorite memory is one winter evening when I was a kid. I walked with my dad to visit my grandmother living in a villege some 5 kilometers away from the town where we lived (my parents din't have a car in that time). As we walked it started to snow heavily and the wind was piercing and icy cold. But what I remember the most is that I felt absolutely safe. Though it was dark and cold, my dad was holding my hand and I knew it was going to be all right. When we arrived, my grandma was waiting with a pot of hot tea. And believe me, it was the greatest tea I have ever drunk!

Love this posting!!! I agree with TwinkleStartCrafts that allowing us to listen to the stories makes us part of the human experience.

That was really nice and lovely. One of my favorite memories is driving off with my husband right after we got married. Love and excitement!

Beautiful piece.

How wonderful! My favorite memory was a night where my boyfriend had me put on a gorgeous dress he got me. Gave me a dozen roses, brought me to his house and surprised me with a wonderful dinner. Another dozen roses. Then he gave me a locket, so that even when were not together, he can be with me. I have never felt so loved in my life.

This clip is amazing in a strange way. I don't know, maybe it's because the music or the theme. It reminds me the atmosphere of my dreams. And I'm proud now to say that I do not exactly know what is my really favorite memory :) there were so many good moments. Maybe it's why this clip makes people feel better, it's very optimistic.

What a wonderful project! A favorite memory that I recall often is the feeling of waking up on the first day of summer vacation as a young child. That combination of warm air coming in through the window, sun shining in, the smell of cut grass, and the realization that I had three months of nearly infinite possibilities ahead of me. @TheWiredGoat, I found your story especially touching.

Impossible to pick just one favorite memory out of 55 year' worth. But all of the potential choices have to do with creating art, communing with Mother Nature, or time spent with loved ones. Great question! Helps to pinpoint what is really of value in one's life!

So beautiful and heartwarming! My favorite memory...there's no way i can choose from, but im enjoying the on flow of goodness in my mind as i try and remember them all!

Every time I laugh so hard that I cry instantly becomes a favorite memory. This means I have many favorite memories.

it's amazing to chronologically look back and see what great things have happened recently that I overlook sometimes. amazing project.

it may be a simple project, but this reminds me of why it's so great to be a human being (it's so easy to forget). i'm not normally so decisive, but my favorite memory is definitely at age four when my mom gave birth to my sister. it was a home birth, so i was able to witness the entire event. i still clearly remember my sister's first cry. and now here we are, 25 years later, the co-owners of mates + rubbish!

The best memories always incude my husband, my children or the city of Chicago. And music. And food. And an occasional restraining order.

this is awesome. the first one that came to mind was when i was 13 I went to not back to school camp in Oregon. a few memories from this are at the end of the camp we went to the coast and the oregon coast has these tall cliff islands just yards away from the coast. A group of us climbed up one and down the other side where the waves were crashing up against the rocks to where the water was spraying us but to where the tide didn't carry me away. Another one was these two older girls befriended me and we swam up this river where the sides and bottom where lined with smooth boulders and the water was still and cold and 1/2 mile down the river one of the boulders was sticking up out of the water maybe 4 inches in the middle of the river and there were maybe 50 raspberries laying on the rock and the girls told me fairies had put the raspberries there and we ate them.

Very cool. I have so many awesome memories, I couldn't possibly pick a favorite, but I'll tell you about one time that comes to mind. I was living in London, in a very international house. We had a fire pit in the backyard that we dug ourselves. We had a lot of parties. This particular party went on for three days and there was at one time about 60 people there from all over the world. One night after the fire was dying down around 3am, a bunch of us - from 13 different countries - were gathered around the kitchen. Wonderwall - the Oasis song - came on the radio and we were all singing together with out drinks at the top of our lungs... I'll never forget that moment because it just goes to show how much the same we all can be no matter where we come from.

Um yea this was great! Made my day too : ) Chante' from So. Cal and my favorite memory is owning a vintage clothing store with my older brosef John. He loved music. We had different tastes, completely! He would play Steely Dan and I hated Steely Dan. It went from that Wu-Tang Clan. All on LP's. Lets just say we only had 4 records and so I was forced to love Steely Dan and Wu-Tang. In loving memory of my soul mate John. This is great reading all the memories!

Thank you Alison, The memories of being a little girl and my mom and I would shop at what she called Second Hand Store's in San Diego. Sitting on the floor beside her and looking at her beautiful long fingers as she was teaching me embroidery stitches.She died just a few day's ago at the age of 86. She is free and out of pain and In I will be forever grateful to her.

Great theme for a story,it's the little things that really make a difference.....memories

Way too many to list.... life is good! Great piece!

My friend Benjamin Reece's project! Cool!

Wonderful film - great concept ! Agreed SeaFind - Way too many to list.

Beautifully made film. Uplifting and wonderful to be watching happiness !!! Well done x

Thanks for making me smile and remember.

Such a wonderful film! The humanity it reflects is humbling. How awesome to have such a remembrance of memories. Well done!

Absolutely breathtaking- Thank you :)

That was great! Very nice post. All of my best memories are on Maui. I spent a couple months there in 2006 and it was breath taking! A true paradise.

My new favorite video :-D

Think of your happy memories often and more will come! :)

Wonderful! My favorite memory is when my mother and father gave me the saphire and diamond ring that my father gave to my mother when I was born. The looks on their faces were of such love and kindness. All my favorite memoried have to do with my parents, they are the best parent. I would have picked them if I had the choice.

This was fabulous & touching! I've shared with all, I hope they will take a moment and think! Thanks for the wonderful post...off to make a list of my favorite memories.

I became so emotional watching this video! I was born and raised in Chicago, so for me, every single good memory happened there. I have a story for every street, going to the fireside for shows, on the train, by the lake, downtown, Humboldt Park, north side and south side. Playing jacks on the street in Pilsen when I was little and stay with my grandmother. Playing as a kid in Little Village in the fire hydrants soaking the street. I am living in Los Angelels temporarily for graduate school and am so homesick. Chicago is one the the most beautiful places I've ever known and I miss it more than anything. My family, my roots everything began there.

great video!

Such a wonderful project! I could never pick just one memory, there are so many fabulous ones. And isn't it odd that while my mind searches for beautiful memories, lots of really sad ones pop up too.

I have had so many great memories, I had a hard time choosing one.......just too many great times! This is such a wonderful idea and I really loved watching the video. So uplifting for a Sunday evening!

what a beautiful video.

Mine would have to be the times my father loaded us all in the car and going from Long Island down to Brooklyn to see my grandparents. We 3 girls were somewhat noisy in the car, my mother would have her opera on the radio or we would be singing something.....and asking when will we be there!

Driving from Napa to San Francisco through windy roads and vine hanging trees drifting in and out of sleep with the warm sun on my face peaking out through the clouds. Listening to Ray Lamontagne in my autumn floral lucky brand top with wine on my breath craving fish stew. It was beautiful.

WHat a wonderful video! Made me cry. This needs to be shared, to help uplift people and to feel gratitude in tough times. Thanks for sharing. "Let the beauty of what you love be what you do." --Rumi

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Make you appreciate what you have.

Great video!

So beautiful. It makes me cry because so many of peoples favourite memories are of their childhood. It makes me realise how precious and important this time is for me and my 3yo daughter. I will hopefully be making memories now that she will carry throughout her life. My favourite memory was hearing my husbands voice 3 years ago say "It's a girl". I couldn't believe I was so lucky.

Wonderful..All the stories werre from childhood..I Have to share lots of things with my little girl..

Great video. I have so many wonderful memories so its hard to pick just one. Thanks for sharing this :)

My favorite and most sweetest memory is the first time I went to the beach. I grew up on the east coast,in the city, where the houses are joined together wall to wall. It was all I had ever known. We went to the State Beach and I remember all I could see was beautiful sand and blue sky and water.It was the largest outdoor space I'd ever been in, and it seemed to go on forever. I was pre-school age, about 5 maybe, and it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen in my short little life. To this day, the beach is my refuge, I go there when my mind is overloaded. After about 45 minutes, I usually feel myself take this long deep breath, and I seem to blow out all the tension when I exhale!

This is so wonderful! The joy in the faces of everyone....just makes you happy! I have 53 years of memories. It is really hard to choose just one. I think my fondest memories are from my childhood. My mom and dad are both so creative and they always made every occasion really special for my sister and me. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Birthdays...Halloween was always fun and my parents went all out to make it special for all of the kids that came by trick or treating. I think that is why I love Halloween and autumn so much. It was a family thing and I treasure those memories. Thanks so much for sharing this video!!! :)

I adore this. Realising that I can't come up with just one favourite memory makes me feel so blessed and lucky.

Enjoyed this! I loved the beauty of their natural expressions when they were remembering their memories. Shared this with a few friends and family members :)

I seldom comment on blog posts but I love this one. I have so many fav memories. One of them is spending Chinese New Year with my extended family at my grandmother's house. There were too many of us and not enough room. It was a whole lot of fun as we literally took turns sleeping. Sadly things were never the same ever since grandma passed away. Thank you for sharing this wonderful clip :)

Nice video. Got too many nice memories. Best ones are when I was a kid growing up in Mexico. Also the birth of both my kids!

I thought this film was inspiring and the soundtrack just perfect. It's a good perspective to have on life: let's make as many good memories as possible.

Thanks to all who have shared their favorite memories here! :) Mine is of a late summer sunset on the Chesapeake Bay. My husband & I were sitting on a lifeguard chair watching as our children played in the water. We were the only ones on the beach. The light was such that we could see the children as silhouettes against the sky. I felt completely present in that moment & it is etched upon my brain as no other has ever been. I can close my eyes and be back there right now. Wonderful!

My favorite memory is evolving day by day until the day my memory will be history...

So beautiful, thank you! I have so many good memories... but what comes to mind is time when I was young(er), living in my first "own" rental flat (no roommates) and my gorgeous new boyfriend was there with me, maybe the second time. My tummy was full of butterflies as I watched him sitting on the floor, playing my crappy old guitar...his long fingers, sun in his dark, long, beautiful hair..he played "Manha de Carnaval"...and I just knew I'd love that song- and him- forever.. Now his hair has got some grey on it, we have been married for 11 years, he is still gorgeous..and I love that song... and him :)

Nice idea, really sweet - I'm not sure what my favourite memory would be I'd hope that my life was always full of them!

goose bumps! awesome! thank you!

What a wonderful project! Beautiful and magical :)

This was great...I had so many memories flood back...the minute I fell in love with my husband...the birth of each of my boys...watching football on the weekends with my father (we now live in different cities across the country) :0(....I can go on and on...thank you so much for this.

This made me smile from ear to ear! My favorite memories are working in the garden as a kid with my mom and dad and my three siblings...going bike riding as a family in the summer. Also hearing my babies cry out for the first time in the delivery room! Too many happy memories to right down. : )

What a wonderful idea!!! There are to many people complaining on everything now a days, and we don't realizes how bless we have been that when somebody ask us that question is hard ti pick one...the first one that came to my mind is when we went to the beach when I was 6 years old and my dad bought me some pink neon floaties, and that is the last memories that I have from him, because he past away few days after....

Inspiring video, fun comments to read! Memories...many favorite but my true favorite... drawing with my Dad when I was a small child; making me trace those Cosmo cover girls!

Amazing video. I love how everyone is instantly in a great mood, and their expression changes, when they think of their fave memories.

WOW..loved this beautiful question! So many smiles and moments make you really think about how fortunate you are to have such good memories. One of my most precious memories is realizing who and what I wanted to be in my life, and acknowleding God as the best memory I could ever have. All memories that make me smile are so important to us all , thanks fo sharing!!

Great piece! There are so many great memories I've had from holidays, my wedding day, to the first time I held each of my children for the first time. Now I have the warm fuzzies!

Truly beautiful, I am actually crying happy tears. Thank you so much for posting this. I love the guy who says you made my day. He made my day!

I love this concept and video. I have so many great memories. I loved road tripping with friends in college before cell phones...We use to get soooo lost!

My favorite memory is of picking up my dad from a naval airbase. I was three, and was meeting him for the first time since I was 3 months old, as he had been serving three tours in Vietnam. I had been told by my mom for 2 weeks that my dad would arrive on a plane. To this day, when I see a plane flying above me, I think of my dad flying home to meet me. He picked little me up to his 6 ft 4 height and hugged me so tight. Then we went out for burgers. I still have the tiny A & W rootbeer cup he bought me that day, and I'm 46 now!

I can't wait to see this video! Thanks for sharing - great subject!

Loved this, thanks for bringing a bit of sunshine Etsy! We are all more a like as people than we are different ;)

Loved this, thanks for bringing in a bit of sunshine Etsy! We are all more alike than we are different ;)

This was beautifully put together. My favorite memories seem to be the simple things in life that money can't buy. My grandparent immigrated to the U.S. about 50 years ago and worked hard, so I could have a better life. I remember waking up in the morning and picking fava beans with them, then later in the morning we would peel away the husks and carefully remove the giant beans. I always screamed bloody murder if there was a worm inside!

Great video.....and my favorite memory was having a pony as a child....but there are so many other great memories in my life..... Thanks! for making me remember :)

Awesome!!!!! Just made my day! I feel like the first guy with a flood of all the great things that have happened in my live. I feel truly privileged.

Absolutely amazing. Love this.

That was so wonderful and sweet. Thanks for that-

So many wonderful memories, but this one stands out to me as one of the sweetest. Our son was born with mutiple handicaps 22 years ago. We had a terrible time feeding him. When he was four (our wonderful daughter was 6) we went to a Christmas tree farm. It was very cold and snowy. After getting our tree the owner's wife gave us peanutbutter cookies and hot chocolate. There we all sat, outside in the snow, eating our cookies, and my son, the one who barely ate anything, was eating his little cookies. My heart was, well, I can't even describe it. Maybe other moms of handicapped children would understand. It was a beautiful thing.
