Kind of ironic that I’m posting this picture considering this one is lying (or probably standing) in her crib right now crying her eyes out. Because…I’m insisting on a nap. What can I say, she’s zesty in every respect. A strength she inherits from her mama. So I discovered on this website through Chevron. The website offers all sorts of interesting personality tests based in what’s called ‘Positive Psychology.’ The survey Simon and I have done is the VIA survey of Character Strengths. It’s a free questionnaire, but takes a good fifteen minutes because there are 240 questions. I’m warning you now. But the results are interesting. Both Simon’s and my top strength is Curiosity About The World. Aren’t we just a match made in heaven? Which doesn’t mean we have secure jobs or a clean apartment or a clean car for that matter (apologies to all those of have ridden in my car as a passenger in the last month and exited the vehicle disturbed.) But damn are we are curious. Freggin’ freakin’ curious.

What are you? Go do some self-discovery. Go, go. Be curious.

Life is sooooo good.
