While enjoying a few drinks Friday afternoon, Anne posed yet another interesting question: What is your theme song? We realized that this is a really difficult question to answer - I have so many memories of different songs - it's impossible for me to choose just one. Yet it's quite fun to think about what the soundtrack to your life would include!
I associate particular songs with moments in relationships and times with friends and family, as well as songs that remind me of a big moment in my life or day-to-day things. Although it's a work in progress, here is a sampling of some songs that would be part of my soundtrack, for a variety of reasons!
