A Quote a Day
I love quotes. I got a little chalkboard for the kitchen, where we now write the quote of the day. We alternate coming up with a quote between me, Sammi, and Daniel. We have not had it very long, but so far, I love it! Having a positive quote to greet me first thing in the morning makes me smile. I like to smile. Smiling is good. :-)
Oh, and notice the pumpkin! (Squeal!) It is my favorite time of year!
I have a pretty good stash of awesome quotes that I love… do you have any favorites? (They need to be short and sweet, it's a small chalkboard!)
Tomorrow is my day for the quote… what to choose? Hmmmmm…
I know you are looking... and I know you want to share your quotes with me. ;-)
