Hi everyone

It seems I've accomplished something good, without even trying.

Last year I took some pictures of an old mill. Some of you may remember
seeing some of those on the old zero communities website.  

A friend saw those and had me make some cards out of one of them to give as
a Christmas gift.  She said the place had meaning to the family she wanted
to give them too.  The man was in a car accident a couple of years ago and
was badly crippled.  He has been in a deep depression ever since.  

It seems he used to paint at one time, and since he can no longer work,
people have encouraged him to start that again, but they couldn't get him
interested in it.  When he saw my cards, he got inspired, and painted one
of the pictures.  He's all excited and is showing everyone.  My friend says
he has now painted 3 pictures and is more animated that they have seen him
in a very long time.  

It's nice to know I can inspire someone  :)
