Q is for Quote, for S's iPod.

I am that I am
See Stop.
Let it be. Let it go. <-- Nah, that sounds like she holds a grudge.

Wednesday was S's 17th birthday! Wow oh Wow. She is so marvelous! Too marvelous for words, so glamorous, so amorous! -- I should write a song about her! :)

On Monday J and I went though all sorts of machinations to get to SLC to buy an iPod for her. (If you turn in an old iPod, at the Apple Store, even a yellow one that "suffered water damage" (Hmmm, was it the washer/dryer treatment by an 11 year old?), they give you a 10% discount on a new one.) Here is what we found:

Bummer. Closed for REMODELING?! It will reopen May 29th.

Now we are going to order one online, where we can have it engraved for free! Free! (Ha.)
Trying to find the right short quote...

Let go. Go on.
Make Peace.
Increase peace.
Dwell in possibilities. Emily Dickinson. [?]
Dream with your eyes open.
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. ~~ e.e. cummings

  1. I have that e.e. cummings quote on a plaque in my entry. Which one did you go with?

  2. I saw this quote at your house & I love it! Courage seems to be a theme in our home these days.

    There aren't too many quotes on my walls etc.--I do put them on plates (plastic), & I have a new fruit stand with a handy quote/card spot, so I'm always collecting them. Overtly didactic messages: Once a job you have begun, never stop until it is done...like the dishes!

    S's iPod is a challenge because it has to be so brief. Any suggestions?
