A conversation between Soren (at age 4) and me, Thanksgiving 2007:
“Mom, is that the pumpkin pie?”
“Yes.”
“Well, I hate it!”
“Hey, you don’t have to eat it, but don’t say mean things about it when I made it.”
(Very sweetly) “Well Mom, your pies look pretty. But they’re yucky!”
Who me?
The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.

Aim High!
I love quotes. Whether I stumble across something that really makes me think, or my kids say something that makes me laugh, I frequently find myself jotting down great quotes on little slips of paper then stashing them here and there. I found two of these gems the other day and decided it’s time to find a systematic way to keep track of them. Voila! My blog!! Now they’re searchable and share-able (and, I hope, enjoyable). I’ll post ’em as I find ’em.
