For anyone who has already been to our site, we apologize. We've made some changes to our basic structure. A kind friend has pursuaded us to not give out quite so much identifying information. When we started, we hadn't expected so many journal visitors, but so far the meter reads 700.
Initially we were afraid of losing our loved one's identities with name changes, but with literary license in hand and hopes of being better safe than sorry, we have chosen to comply. It actually was great fun to rename the people in our life. We did something that we hadn't seen before. Six of the names, that of our dearest friends, were changed to reflect their characterstics along nature's sight. It might seem strange at first, but we think it may help to transplant our mind(s) set. We thought too that if the people's names we mention were ambiguous, the names would more easily be adapted to represent the characteristics of some of your loved ones. We also changed the color format to be more reflective of the nature we so love to see, hear, and touch.
To give a small lesson on "characters," the doctors M, W, & L will maintain these initials. Dr. M. is our current psychiatrist, Dr. W. is our former psychiatrist, and Dr. L. is our former professor. Macadam is our oldest son (22), Lee is his wife (22), Abby is their daughter (2 1/2), Tanner is our middle son (21), AJ is his son (3), Jacob is our youngest son (19), and his best friend is Aldan (18). Sr. Tess is our boss (70's), and our friends are now Forest Path (50 male), Bubbly Stream (43 female), Rosewood Tree (30 male), River Bank (62 male), Clear Sky (44 female), and last, but not least, Gentle Brook (20 female). Kitties stay the same, Missy and Chief!
We also changed the name of our core person not only because she was the one holding our given name at birth, but also to reflect a change of feelings the system is beginning to have toward her. From this point on ... she will be called, "Dear Heart."
Thanks for understanding...
