Thank you!!!!

I have to put a big thank you here to a few people - first of all Donna. She has been there for me for the last few years, listened to me whine, and always supported me even when I wasn't sure what the heck I was doing. You always believed in me Donna - and I will always be grateful that you did! Another thank you goes to Dawn who told me I would be good at blogging in the first place - that's where this all started. A huge thanks to my wonderful husband for always telling me that he loved my pictures, always supported me, encouraged me and gave me hugs when I needed them. (Did I mention that he funds all of my camera equipment, cards, prints and frames? Well he does, and never complains about that!)

Now don't get all excited, I didn't win a photo prize or win the lottery or anything. What I have done is become hopeful again! I have goals! You have no idea how hard it is to live without goals. Without them, what the hell are we really doing? Well I was doing nothing except cleaning, cooking and shopping. Now I have something that is for me, something that I can work on all the time. And it's on my schedule. Now I am not making any money at this, but I don't care about that....yet. I care that I took the chance to step out of my boring half-existence and did something that I believed I could do. Heck, even -30 weather can't bring me down right now! Off I go to complete some more things on my list!
