Hi D...Hi Tammy,<br />Thanks. I hope 2012 is a good one!<br /><br />Hi Dianna,<br />You are so busy, no wonder you don't have time to enter contests. But you're a great role model for freelancers who write each day and bring home regular paychecks.<br /><br />DonnaDonna Volkenannthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540727800410234483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-45894506656309971862012-01-03T22:18:08.897-06:002012-01-03T22:18:08.897-06:00Sounds like you had ad great 2011, Donna!

I did not submit much this year (unless you consider my regular assignments), and you inspire me to try harder to get some things out there this year. Thanks for your warm and wonderful friendship, and I look forwards to continued friendship for many years!

Not that the negative things shouldn't get a good going over, too, just to at least recognize them and learn from them but I always remember a quote I read here on your blog - "It's okay to look in the rear view mirror, just don't stare." :)Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-51848740595567953112012-01-01T15:50:38.320-06:002012-01-01T15:50:38.320-06:00Hi Janet,

Not that I'm a drinker, of course. I'm just a Celia Rivenbark fan. For Christmas, I got her latest book, You Don't Sweat Much for a Fat Girl.
