A tough decision...

[Alysser]

Kirsten, this post made me a little sad. Of course you deserve it! Not only do you have a wonderful gift and brilliant eye, you are such a sweet kind person. You've been through A LOT recently and I believe you deserve it, as does your friend. If she's offering this to you, she is obviously a true friend and really believes in you and your passion. I think you should accept the gift as well.

Please don't feel like you are a useless individual, because that isn't true in the slightest.

I agree with everyone else, Kirsten. Please accept your friend's fine gift. This is a blessing for you and her both.

Thank you everyone so very much for your support, and your kind words... means a lot! Maybe you're right, I'll think about it...

No thinking involved, Kirsten, except for saying Danke shoen and returning the favor with some of the photographs generated by your talent and the new tool. Speaking of which, have you ever thought about selling your photography? The images are beautiful.
