The Best Things In Life Are Free

9/8/2010

 
Last week while reading the very talented Joanna Goddard's blog, A Cup of Jo, I came across a video that I just can't stop thinking about...

This video, "Danny and Annie" was created by StoryCorps, an independent nonprofit whose mission according to their website is, "to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share, and preserve the stories of our lives."

If you have a few moments I strongly encourage you to check out the StoryCorps website.  The audio recordings of people's stories on this website are honest, raw, touching, and will definitely make you think about your own story and what matters the most to you in your life.

This story about "Danny and Annie," a couple from Brooklyn who has was married for 27 years, guides you through their unique love story, through their own words and animation.  It's only five minutes...if you haven't seen this yet you really should take the time to grab a tissue and watch something that will make you think about love in a whole new way.  Personally, I believe "Danny and Annie" remind me of my own grandparents, and then about the love I have today...how it keeps me going, and gets me through the rough patches.  But maybe it will mean something different to you...

Regardless, I think after you watch you will feel the same way I do...the best things in life really are free.

What a wonderful concept. I am spinning with ideas on stories I wish were captured of my family - grandparents, aunts, etc. Thanks for sharing this!
