I want a family motto. Friends and I have been geeking out over "Game Of Thrones". This is a television show based on the novels of George R.R. Martin and his amazing ability to write naked people into nearly every scene. Central to the plot is the strife between several noble families, each of whom have their own "words" or motto. One of these same above friends recently returned from Scotland and brought with him some interesting facts about his family and heritage. He discovered the clan he belongs to and what his clan "words" are. It seems a wonderful thing, to have cry or motto that distinctly identifies you as a member of a specific group, something more profound than "Learn to drive!"
I am not certain where my family comes from, I know it's an old name. One of the oldest when you consider that it's Abraham. I think if I applied myself to the search I would likely be able to kick up a little information fairly easily in a short amount of time about my family roots, through one of the many tools available online.
I know, I very nearly didn't get through that myself without giggling. "Apply myself..." So funny. We all know I'd get bored after two minutes and spend the rest of the day surfing lol cats. It would be far easier for me to make one up, right here on the spot, which I have just done. So my words will be now and henceforth, "Replace Reality With Optimism." It's a bit wordy but "Jesse Is Coming" seems to lend itself to too many off-colour remarks.
