Thank you Pinterest for gleefully providing us with our quote of the day! 

I recently celebrated my 31st birthday and as I've hit my stride in this third decade of life, I keep wondering and waiting for that moment when I feel like a grown up. I know I'm an adult - you join that club when you turn 18 (how crazy is that, by the way?), but when is that kid inside finally going to look at me and say, "Look, it's been real, but the skipping, the in general silliness...It's time to stop the madness." 

Deep down inside I hope that the kid inside is alive, well, and kicking as the wrinkles start coming and the hair starts heading to the land of grey...Couple that with my dream of seeing my husband and I grow into one of those cute old couples with 50 years of marriage under our belts and still holding hands and making each other laugh; well I don't think life could get any better than that. 

Are you a kid at heart or 100% grown up?

I came across this little gem in my StumbleUpon wanderings and thought it was too fantastic not to share. 

I love the list, but figured I/we could add a few of our own. So I'll give you mine and I'd love it if you'd share yours in the comments and we'll have ourselves a little happy-day party. 

Life's Natural Highs continued...

~ A rainy, snuggly, stay-in-bed-reading kind of day
~ Being taken back in time by a song
~ Making your spouse laugh
~ Laughing so hard you cry
~ Playing at the park
~ Hearing a child's belly laugh


~ A random compliment
~ Being known
~ Laughing so hard it turns into a giggle-snort
~ The perfect set that results in a hardwood-pounding kill (yes, I'd be talking about volleyball here)
~ The tug of a fish at the end of your fishing pole
~ A spine-tingling kiss

Okay, now it's your turn: keep our list growing in the comments below!

Thanks for reading!

Quote of the day...If only it were a song

I wish this quote I just found was a song, because then it could totally be our theme song for this blog. It would be like on Meet the Robinsons when they're celebrating Lewis's failure and they bust into their own theme song of Keep moving forward (you can see what I mean in the video below. And if you know not of what I speak because you've never seen the movie...You really, really need to). 

But I digress...Really a lot, actually. Anyways, the quote that I found: 

        "It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are." -E.E. Cummings 

But seriously, kind of a little perfect for my little corner of the web, isn't it? Just say yes, you know you want to. 

Because I am a lover of quotes, you'll probably see more of these entries popping up from time to time. Even though there is a part of me, deep down inside that wonders if someone just sits at their computer all day coming up with quotes and attaching important names to said quotes so they'll carry greater impact...I mean, really, how do I know that some person who is compiling the biggest list of quotes ever has double checked the source of origin? I don't. Regardless, I love me some quotes. They bring out all sorts of warm and fuzzy feelings for me, so use them I will. And you know, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if you left your favorite quotes in the comments. Quote on!
