October Art Show and a Request

 The Art Center for the Islands

is having their

Rock, Paper, Scissors Group Show

starting October 1st.

I took 11 pieces over Sunday.

 My Love's Sorrow art quilt made it

on the front page of their newsletter.

I was so surprised and pleased!

I would not be in this show

 if it wasn't for my friend Darlene.

A somber request to all of you reading this...

I usually don't do this sort of thing,

but I feel I must....

Please keep my artist friend Darlene

in your prayers.

She encouraged me to join the

Art Center for the Islands

and to get in the October show.

 She has recently been diagnosed with

bone cancer.

 ALSO...

My friend Shirley,

who I have posted about many times,

 is the person who encouranged me

to enter the TDA quilt contest.

She is having some health issues

right now,

so please keep her in your prayers.

She was going to be in the

October art show also,

but is unable to.

She called me up in Dallas,

before the TDA quilt unveiling

to let me know how proud she was of me.

That touched my heart.

One more request...

please keep another person,

who will remain nameless,

 in your prayers.

She would not want me to go into details.

But I figure the more prayers for her, the better.

She is very close to me.

I am truely blessed

 by having these women

and many others like them

 in my life.

Who are the people in your life who encourage you,

who support you,

who love you no matter what,

who call you to say they are proud of you,

who tell you they care?

Savor the Day!
