Hugs

I love little kids hugs! Yesterday at work a little girl just comes up and hugs me and then at the end of the day a little boy that I yelled at quite a few times comes and gives me a hug. I haven't always been a hugging person and many can tell you that. I didn't grow up in a hugging family and it wasn't really until I was older that I started being a hugging person. Now when I leave my parents house I have to hug them goodbye. When I see my cousins that I don't see often they know that I will want a hug before I leave. It is funny.


I feel that a hug is something so innocent yet intimate at the same time. And I guess it depends on who the hug is with. Hugs bring so much love and happiness into a live and they are so simple to give. I often don't think I am very good at giving hugs... although some have told me I give pretty good hugs. I think guys give the best hugs. I know two guys which give the best hugs. Sadly I don't get many hugs from them but it is always nice when I do. Maybe it is just feeling safe in someones arms that makes you feel warm and loved.


So although I am still working on my hugs and I don't often initiate hugs I still love them. So think about this. Hugs are free and something everyone can do. They show and give friendship, love, support, and comfort. Who have you hugged today?
