Hello, dear friends, kogs, kosmopolitans and everyone -
We've all seen hugs and kisses virtually exchanged around here. Someone shares the loss of a pootie, someone else unburdens themselves after a long night in the ER, a third mourns the loss of a friend. And a flurry of hugs and kisses follow - {{{{{{{{{dear}}}}}}}}, ::smoochies:: and many another iconic representation.
Just a few characters on the screen, just a few electrons, just a few photons passing from the screen to our eyes, and yet again and again I've seen (and sometimes received) comfort from these virtual affections. A mystery, but a dear one.
Life has been hard lately (not that you need telling that) and I made the offhand comment yesterday that I was thinking of having a diary for a group hug. Many folks chimed in that yes, that would be very welcome!
So here it is. Would you like a (virtual) hug or (electronic) smoochies? Just drop a comment and I'll share one with you! Anyone else who wants to join in, feel free!
