I am a new fan of Clarity25, and I saw on her "about me" section that she had a "50 Things" list written by her husband. I thought "What a great idea! Who, theoretically, knows me better than my husband?" Then I "thought," "How can I use more "quotation marks" in my journal?" Okay not really but you have to agree the quotation marks were getting excessive there for a moment.
But now, without further ado...
