It’s running season. (Not politicians.) Real runners! Marathoners.

Marathon. Part II:

Do you know a marathoner? They often have a 26.2 on the backs of their cars. This is for them! Or you!

You, or your favorite runner, will love this piece. The other day, I posted “Runner’s Blessing.”

Today, I am posting “Marathon.” This is one of my earliest, and still, one of my favorite, poems. Picture yourself, or your favorite runner’s picture, surrounded by this heirloom. Make your experience more memborable than ever before!

A great gift for the runner. You will enjoy giving this as much as they enjoy getting it! Or you will like your own picture in it!

And it will inspire them, and you, to keep going!

Marathon

I have trained my legs

to know their proper place,

to seek their outer limits,

to find controlled pace.

I have trained my mind

to focus on the road,

to stay the course and block the pain:

a rhythmic, tranquil code.

I have trained my heart

to beat with strength and pride,

to drive my body forward

on such an ancient ride.

It’s Graduation Season!

Congratulations to graduates at every level! Grade school. High School. College. Graduate Schools. It's another step to move your life forward! Enjoy it! You've earned that! And keep on learning! More than ever, our world needs students who are committed to learning. And remember: sometimes it's not what you know that's important. Sometimes it's what you don't know, and continuous learning helps you to keep learning that lesson. Even more important: It's what you don't know that you don't know! That means that you will never know everything, but you need to recognize that there are things you need to learn and know, even if you don't know what they are yet! Good luck to all graduates! Be perpetual learners! We need you!

A Note About Selection Boxes When Purchasing an Item

Read the instructions on pages where multiple product choices are present. Then go to the Selection Boxes. If you have any difficulties with the Selection Boxes, click the "Clear Selection" button until all boxes are cleared (you may have to click it more than once), and then enter all your choices again.

If you put an item into the shopping cart and then change your mind, click the red X, and when the "Return to Shop" button appears, click the arrow that takes you to "The Shop." Click through and then return back to your page by clicking the Photo related to your choice, or go through the main navigation menu. This is necessary to clear the shopping cart and the selection boxes. I will try to find out if there is a fix for this, but for now the above should work. If not, contact me.

For downloadable items, make selection(s) then follow Shopping Cart to PayPal. After paying, you will receive instructions on how to download your item(s).

Frames & Etched Pieces

Frames: See Top Menu Page titled "Frames." As the frames do contain glass, we ship the pieces with great care to prevent breakage. Be very careful when opening the package, and watch for breaks or cracks in the glass right away. See the top menu item titled "Frames."

Etched Pieces: Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery of etched pieces.
Depending on the amount of text for personalization, photograph opening sizes may have to be adjusted and some text sizes may have to be adjusted also or perhaps edited.
