This thing Heather and I are building has given me an idea. It has to with a coat-of-arms, and I remembered I made one for myself in a written journal several years (or more) ago. As the journal is buried some place I can't really go look at the drawing to see what's in it, but I think it's safe to say times change and so have I. I'm thinking it's time I revamp my personal coat-of-arms to reflect the person I am now.
I ran across a page for coat-of-arms info quite by a stroke of serendipity in my search for something else. It will be quite useful indeed when I begin pulling the thing together. Which will most likely be during Spring Break. I'll have loads of time to work on it then to my heart's content. From looking at the list of symbols and reading what they mean, I've a slight idea of what I want to use, symbol-wise. The motto is slightly harder to come up with, of course. I'll just have to remember that this time I want it to be flexible as to allow change as I continue to change and grow. After all, this'll be my coat-of-arms for all time.

Manifest plainness,
Embrace simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires.
