Thank you so much!!

That was way too long ago, ChessExpert. I can’t remember what I did this morning. lol

That was a really fascinating article though, I have to say. I don’t know if it answers my mother’s question about where babies’ souls come from but fascinating nevertheless.

I got very little of the nefesh and a whole lotta the neshamah since I am always giving away money and stuff I shouldn’t be and with no drive to earn more. Need my nefesh kicked into overdrive. :)

I don’t know about animals being in heaven but surely they would have to be. I have never been close to or fond of animals much. But my sister had a dog that, even though I was not especially close to him, I was very fond of. He died last year and now going to her home is just not the same. I miss him and his familiar presence. He was very reassuring and gentle and I’ve never even felt that from a human. So I am hoping I will see him again and get to be close to him as I never was here.

Here’s a couple of articles I found just now about the subject.

Thanks for the comment and links.

It’s not surprising you don’t immediately remember a blog post from early in the month. I got on this thread late, but still enjoyed reading all the posts.
