Someone recently told me that in reading through the posts on this blog he was unable to decipher which of us was the author unless he looked at the citation noting our illusive identity. This is not a new suggestion to me. In fact, Maren and I have been playing a sort of game in citing to each other the specific things we encounter in life for which we have differing opinions. To ourselves, we seem very different. For example, just this morning Maren & I were chatting about how she believes in sleeping & I do not. ;)
At the same time if I look closely at the person I've become, I can see little pieces of other people, most often those closest to me, that I've carefully integrated into the person of Rebecca. Some traits I tried desperately to adopt, for example using correct grammar and very large words. ;) I've also no doubt that I have many traits that I didn't consciously seek, but still found me. (I'm not sure if these traits are good or bad because I'm not sure what they are, but they have to be there. Right?)
So, I have to thank all you fantastic people who helped to create Rebecca. You've done an amazing job. ;)
