Great! I'm glad you have that frame of mind towards things, it will really help.
As for being a hawk fanatic, I am too!!! We have them all over around here (I live out in the country in OK). I also love drawing bird of prey...I do scratchboard as a hobby. And my H and I currently have a red-tailed hawk glicee & an Osprey glicee framed and hanging in our home :-)
I hope your weekend continues to go well for you! GEL
