"It is one of the worlds greatest tributes to the strength of the human spirit,

that most of those who lived, and their children after them,

remained sane and adapted in part at least,

to the strange new world in which they found themselves"

Bill Reid

As we now find ourselves also living a life of notable change, we are forced not only to adapt to our new environment but are challenged to adapt from within.

Our greatest feat is to accept the challenge of changing in areas which we do not readily embrace a need - and do so with grace and patience.

Tim is discovering he cannot have everything planned and organized much beyond the moment it happens.

Roz is discovering she is rather territorial. While this may be motherly instinct, it is not necessarily helpful.

Naomi is discovering her ardent need for civilization. She is done with "roughing it"!

Eden is discovering her intrinsic need for organization is not always possible in a 15 X 25 foot home.

Eli is discovering that permanently smelling like an old moccasin is par for the course if you are the number one fire builder. Axe body wash just can't compete.
