And it&amp;#39;s like the lottery--you can&amp;#39;t win if you don&amp;#39;t enter. But you did, and it had a good result. More of us need to take a chance on things like that because we have nothing to lose by sending off an image. I like the idea of your monthly challenge and I am in a similar group myself. It certainly forces ME to think outside the familiar &amp;quot;box&amp;quot; and to tackle subjects that I wouldn&amp;#39;t otherwise. Keep up the good work!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8503167524333303156/5972679881896925524/comments/default/3624713121303500166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8503167524333303156/5972679881896925524/comments/default/3624713121303500166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gracenotesbygracerankin.blogspot.com/2009/07/june-events.html?showComment=1246678216272#c3624713121303500166' title=''/><author><name>Kathleen Mattox</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05398334634015709086</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='11043200873145247863'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_24muYZaKsi0/SW7PMt0LlAI/AAAAAAAAAXM/j9n8bOI2lIE/S220/ksm.jpeg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://gracenotesbygracerankin.blogspot.com/2009/07/june-events.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503167524333303156.post-5972679881896925524' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8503167524333303156/posts/default/5972679881896925524' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-76344958'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.displayTime' value='July 3, 2009 8:30 PM'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503167524333303156.post-215835791723962306</id><published>2009-06-23T23:41:47.671-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-23T23:41:47.671-07:00</updated><title type='text'>It definitely has that &amp;quot;rainy essence&amp;quot;, ...</title><content type='html'>It definitely has that &amp;quot;rainy essence&amp;quot;, doesn&amp;#39;t it?
