What I'm Grateful For

"It is a miracle if you can find true friends, and it is a miracle if you have enough food to eat, and it is a miracle if you get to spend your days and evenings doing whatever it is you like to do, and the holiday season-like all the other seasons-is a good time not only to tell stories of miracles, but to think about the miracles in your own life, and to be grateful for them."
~Lemony Snicket, The Lump of Coal

This quote was borrowed from my favorite food blog The Noble Pig. I have not met the woman personally but she always has great stories, great photos and great recipes. She also owns and operates a vineyard in Oregon.  Some day I hope to be as great a blogger as she. 

 I have been grateful for the honors I have received lately...semi-finalist in the RAW competition, selection for pART in NYC and I recently found out one of my artworks was chosen for the cover of the Boise Weekly sometime in January.
