30. P.S. your kind words mean everything to me, and I love everyone here. I was feeling a bit blue today

Because I have my mammogram tomorrow morning and I didn’t sleep, am feeling that anxiety people feel once they’ve had cancer, it’s too easy to get scared of what the news might be. So I was fighting the blues today and your kind words and the kind words of everyone here on DU have lifted my spirits more than I can say.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And everyone, if you haven’t already, please go look up Samples work on the artist forum, you will be enchanted and amazed by her beautiful art!

Watercolor is by far the most difficult medium to master, but she is brilliant in it!
