A nice pat on the head is the perfect description!! When I started (after encouragement from Jean!), I thought I should use an alias for each person so no one would get their feelings hurt. BUT ... it was difficult for my muddled brain to remember what I named people, so I am using real names.

I still like Mistress of Misadventure, because by having the word adventure in there it implies that there are indeed, adventures! Even if there are mishaps, so to speak. And you are definitely a seeker, an adventurer, a gatherer of wonderful stories and experiences.

Writing is hard work, it's cathartic in a way that only long time diary and journal keepers can understand. It's really ashamed that your daughter won't let you know what you wrote that hurt her feelings so you could try to make it right. Years ago I wrote a family history book and my niece proof-read it.

I've spent the past three days helping My Mermaid find a more permanent home, garage sales and some help with her Facebook and website. Encouraging her to get UPDATED business cards.
