The wearing of the Green

Well, these are not shamrocks or even four leaf

clovers but they'll do. I don't usually think about

St. Patrick's Day except to wear a little green. I

didn't wear any green today because I was green

enough without it: green with envy, that is.

Today was the photography show over in Vienna.

Several members of the Curves Camera Crew had entered and we went over to see the exhibit

this morning. The show had been judged and there were ribbons indicating first, second, third, and honorable mention. None of us received any

award. The others were not upset but I was angry. I'm not saying that my work is the best, but I think some of it deserved at least an honorable mention. Now, I am plagued with doubts. I don't like this feeling and I am angry with myself. I need to learn from this and work on my photographic abilities instead of wallowing in

self pity. Ok , McD. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start out over again.
