The Look of Hope..

Posted by
Eric Cousineau (Sherwood Park, Canada) on 10 February 2010 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

The elation of the run has passed and now the pride of the nation takes over.

Today marks my 1 year anniversary on Aminus3 and my 365th posting! Thank you very much to all of you who have visited my site over the past year and it is my hope that I can continue to improve my craft so that you will return to visit!

Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.

I don't think of myself as a role model. I do try to live in a compassionate, considerate and positive way. The only advice I can offer is to find what you love to do, find the joy in it, and express yourself through your passion.
