And yes, I want to do everything, blog banners, etc. I always have to keep my mind busy with something creative. <BR/><BR/>And thank you so much for understanding. That means a lot to me. Usually, if a person proves to be an unfriend like she is I just walk away but in this case I can't. So in the grand scheme of things it's not a bad thing because I've been forced to use view the <BR/>situation as a learning experience. And I have definitely learned a lot about tolerance, maturity and the value of true friendship.<BR/><BR/>And yes, you're right about speaking to the gallery again. It doesn't hurt to try again.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679485132057382813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362903411474112827.post-74260839731295638482009-03-28T12:45:00.000-07:002009-03-28T12:45:00.000-07:00Love your illustrations!

As for the negative-energy person, sounds like she falls into the "victim" category and revels in it. We all are either survivors or victims in this life. Those who complain and do nothing to change things (i.e. that woman) usually like playing the role of victim. Some people remain victims their entire lives, purely by choice. It is sad, but there's nothing you can do more than you already have. And you did the right thing, even though it was personally uncomfortable for you. If I were you, I'd go back to that gallery owner and talk to him over coffee about YOUR work. I'm sure he won't hold it against you for that woman's bad behaviour. Your work speaks for itself and I'm sure he wouldn't have made encouraging remarks to you previously if he weren't interested. Try again! You have real talent!paris parfaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457437124988976587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362903411474112827.post-42870384448240011892009-03-28T04:26:00.000-07:002009-03-28T04:26:00.000-07:00Hi Cheryl, thank you for visiting.

Although you may feel frustrated by your feelings, sharing them gives those of us who read about it hope that perhaps we can find the strength to deal with the people we don't want to deal with, or illnesses, our heritage, etc. Thanks for sharing. Despite feeling down, you still managed to be uplifting! And congrats for having such an awesome friend!M. Bailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811654487507824088noreply@blogger.com
