This morning I was searching for motivational quotes to write on the bottom of the pages of my new food tracking journal. (Those quote can be found on my other blog site: www.losingthelowcarbway.blogspot.com.) But there were lots of fun quotes that made me think. I've decided to post those here.

Where do you find all these gems? I am particularly fond of "Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures". I think that pretty much sums up how I stay happy (most of the time). I've written down a few of the others to I can read through them when the need arises. Thank you!
These quotes are amazing! Thanks for the inspiring thoughts, Christie!
I collect quote books. These came from a compilation by Reader's Digest. Most of the quote books I pick up second hand. Someday I'm going to get around to having Angie do them in vinyl so I can put them all over the house. Ah, someday.
It's a good thing you know where I live... and we aren't moving... so I'll wait to here from you! But truly these are good, I can't say that I have used 1 of them... and I have done a lot of quotes in my day! I've been working hard at adding stuff to my "vinyl blog", www.angiesvinylexpressions.blogspot.com Check it out... if you don't already! Also thought you might like a link to my Dad's blog www.tonywegener.blogspot.com he is a serious McCain/Palin fan and echoes some of your same seniments - I like how he writes too... maybe it's just cuz I kindof like him! Thanks for the thoughts - we should swap books sometime!
I have to take that back... he isn't a "serious fan" of McCain's - more like a "serious NOT fan" of Obama!
