Hiya All,

Happy holidays.  Thanx for the efforts, friends, your work here is impressive.  An injustice to any is an injustice to all, "we, the people...", can't allow it  :)   For e.g., the fundamental thing taught by Jesus was destruction and murder are of no profit or pleasure, something almost all supposed Christians are anti-thetically opposed to, as is your gov't; and a gleaning from Native American teaching, et al, all life are needed threads in the fabric of life.  Put your shadow behind you, give the gift that keeps on giving, a hand to a sister and/or brother :)  The more art is given, the more it is, as is life.  Very cool site, I like it, even though I've only been on it for a couple days, and, unlike many others that are similar, this one's 'buzz' seems to be keeping it growing; which is necessary.  A twig of poetree :)

Hustled and bustled,
Still, hands only put to heart,
Beings, only art.


I look forward to hearing from you. Goodbye. For those interested :) "of or pertaining to the morning, day: relating to or happening in the morning or in the early part of the day (formal), (Mid-16th century, from late Latin matutinalis, from Matuta, goddess of the dawn.)". 

Matutinally Yours,

During a time of economic frustration, we must observe the actions which lack of finances can indeed cause.  Families are struggling to eat, pay their mortgage as well as tend to their children.  The upsetting result which can arise from financial inability is the mental and physical anguish towards the members of the entire group.  Families which may have relied on the a paycheck to buy groceries and put food on their table for young children and their spuses can not do so any longer, for they may have lost their job.  This issue can lead to domestic harm either directed physically from one spouse to another or indirectly through verbal assault which in iteself is unacceptable act towards any being but can further cause ever lasting impressions on the children which may unfortunately encounter it.  We must stride to make a difference and realize that any bit of support which we may provide, whether monetary or through support groups, can help prevent this atrocity.
     Attrocities such as domestic violence effect all of us.  Whether we were personally harmed through this issue or we have a spouse, a close friend, or especially any family member who is currently in a relationship where a significant other might have harmed that person through verbal abuse or physical abuse.  This is a problem which can not go unnoticed in our society.  No one person has the right to harm another in any way or form.
   I propose to you a challenge.  A rather simple act which can ensure you are making a difference for those around you.  I am asking that you "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE" utilize an internet search engine which will ensure that "EVERY" search you make will allow for "ONE PENNY" to be donated towards the prevention and treatment of domestic violence.  Just think, an almost random act which you complete, on almost a daily basis, could ensure that "Regular People" like you and me can share in the heartfelt warmth of knowing someone else is sleeping better, safer and in better psychological for because you did something you always do.....Thank you so much and "ENJOY YOURSELF TODAY"
