I'm glad we are friends pawny. (((hugs)))
Great comments and seeds... Keep up the good work!
Take care!— McSpocky
Thanks Dawny for finding me worthy enough to be one among those on your friend list. I'll do my best to remain there.
Dawnypawny, my family is honored by your frienship. We find your articles interesting, thoughtful and provacative. You bring out the best in everyone across myriad opinion groups. You beg out the best in all of us. Can I please assist you in running for a US Congressional office? (Sorry, but it's what I do.)

Dawnypawny, I didn't want to hijack the discussion on Christianity/Atheist...but I do wish to respond to your statement..."I wonder where the spirits of those we love "go" when they are not here anymore. I "believe" the spirit is eternal and is available to us when we need it/as we need it. At time it is little comfort when my heart aches specially. At other times usually when I least expect it or don't think I need it I feel a rush of the most delicious warmth around my heart and a calmness I can't describe...those I have come to identify as the love of those who have gone before me.
Many blessings.— ettenna
Hi Dawny - I just put in a friend request - seems like we have a lot in common and many of the same friends.
