This Picture Reminds Me...

Knowing What To Throw Away
Boaters at the end of the day in Havre de Grace, Maryland

of the lyrics from The Gambler:

You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

Now every gambler knows the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep
'Cause every hand's a winner
And every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep

I apologize for not posting frequently this week.

It has been busy and difficult.

Sickness has stomped its way through the house

and I have been focused on finalizing my

portfolio to submit to the gallery,

which I did yesterday.

I have designed and received my new business cards

and

I began constructing my new website!

I can't wait to get that up and running to share with you all.

Thank you so, so much to all of you

who have left comments, 

privately emailed me,

facebook messaged me,

and called me 

in support of my new ventures.

I couldn't do it without all of your love and support.

It is amazing how you find out who your true friends and supporters are

at times of great difficulty and also at times of great joy.

Have you ever experienced a time when you were successful

and people you thought were friends became 

jealous and distant?

I wonder why that is?
