Hi there! Thanks for stopping by abeadaday! You had asked if those beads from Joann were swarovski, believe it or not, they are not! They are fabulous. I was so bummed that I didn't stay up last night to make something to wear to work today! I sneaked a peak at the blogpost on my phone during break and lunch. Sad, but true! By the way, I LOVE the chainmaille bracelet in your etsy shop!! Very cool!
Let's see..

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. --Albert Einstein
If it's too long I think you could cut it after "musician" and use either the first part of the second.

Good luck everyone!
Thank you everyone for all the wonderful selection of quotes. Unfortunately, one of the rules is that I can't use copyright-protected materials. The following I can't use:
"Those Who Mind Don't Matter and Those Who Matter Don't Mind." - Dr.Seuss
"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." -Red Auerbach
"Music is what feelings sound like." - Anonymous

"It's a bittersweet symphony this life/ I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now" - The Verve
Those lovely people who's entries listed above are welcome to submit another quote. A good rule of thumb would be poets or people who died 50+ years ago.
There are some really good quotes here. Please continue to submit or come back before the deadline to vote. Thanks, Theresa
