Once again more wise words:) 

Buffoo loves the whizzing sound those words make as they swoosh over his head.

you freak me out freethinker

I see God in these Nannies.

You haven't, like, procreated or anything, have you?

The closest unconditional love I have experienced is the love and devotion of the pets I've rescued. They ask for so little in return. They don't care about your past sins, your lifestyle, your mental health, how much money you got in the bank.....Is it any wonder pets modify the behavior of violent criminals in prison, or lift the spirits of infirm patients in hospitals?  Nothing teaches acceptance and love without expectation or judgement like an animal. 

....except for bloggers on this site. They all seem to want to kill squirrels. 

A Holy Father once said that a dog is far worthier than he.  Because the dog had unconditional love and sins not.  But it is easy for some to isolate themselves from there brethren with animals.  It is through loving are fellow humans that we find salvation.  They provide the grist for the mill to grind off our rough edges.  Besides the Bible says "How can you love God whom you have not seen.  If you don't love your brother whom you have." 

I'll take my dog over most people  (except my family) anyday.

I'm with you woof woof

  freethinker  --  What a great post. So true.  And so I read all your posts  - and they are ALL so good.  I won't miss them from now on.  Folks would do well to pay attention, as to a light shining in a dark place.   ---   (Your the one that did the "friends" post that I just had to comment on, and then came back to blogging after I'd quit for a season.  Thank you.)   ( :

Catpaw~ let the squirrels go....signed a reformed squirrel killer. (lol)

It's those times when I go beyond what's expected that I get the best "rewards",sometimes.Other times nothing readily apparent comes through,but I think of those times as "spiritual sit ups"~getting me somewhere.I am a firm believer that you create how you experience life~ it is the only thing you can control.

Sometimes those "enemies" deserve a metaphorical slap up side their heads~other times it's me that deserves it. Good luck on your journey.

I have had people do me and mine wrong and I held in a lot of hate for them.  It didn't hurt them at all, they didn't even know. It was eating me from the inside out.  I finally forgave them, not face to face but in my mind and it actually helped. I think if you can forgive them in your own mind you may find some sort of healing. Sage, that is a great way of putting what I've always felt about personal happiness, it's mine to create.  Don't rely on someone else to make you happy. Shouldn't you guys be asleep?  {HAY DA }

With me, I am usually an early riser. The tv news is on low (incase there really is any news) and it's quiet. Cup of coffee, catch up on bloggers gossip, humor, etc. Best time of the day.

>>>Yes but lately i have been waking up about 3a.m.....can stop thinking about sad things so i come here so someone will make me mad...lol ,I think it's the b-day,and I just miss my boys...so fighting about politics makes that stop.It's either that or killing squirrels...;-)

B-days have to be hard.  Can't even imagine your loss.  I do remember the photo of your son with the great smile at what appeared to be a fun time.  I don't think killings squirrels would do it for me anymore either. 

((Hugs)).....Thanks.

Very heartfelt post, personally I think that religion, among many other factors, that put us at odds with others (IE Races,Nationalities,Clicks,Etc,Etc.) are what drive us to hate, and of of course being personaly hurt by others. We are just human, by no means am I saying that if we all where atheist, we would rid our selves of the terrible scurge of war, but I think loving people for who they are, would be a little easier. like your post by the way, hope your pain is lifted (coming from someone who has had great pain, and anger) see ya~!
