Humbled

I am overwhelmed.  I just received notice that I am one of 20 to receive the Award of Merit in the International Art Competition.  We'll be flying out to Utah for the award ceremony and the opening of the competition exhibit.  I never in my wildest dreams imagined I would get this far in this competition. I'm so new at this whole thing, and I feel incredibly blessed.  That the chest, which is so personal to me and my family, is recognized this way, makes it all the more remarkable.
