My Thoughts About Hugs
Hugs.  A simple act of embracing someone you care about in
 your arms.  It is an act of true caring.  With one Hug so much
 can be said.  Sometimes the only thing you can do is Hug someone.  
It can even replace words.  I can remember a time not
 to long ago when I was really upset about a situation.  I was 
ranting and raving to a good friend.  I was feeling frustrated,
 angry upset and sad and even though it was something that 
affected a lot of people I was feeling very much alone.  And in
 one second a dear friend gave me want I needed the most in the 
world a HUG.  It might not have solved all the problems or any of
 the problems but it made me feel a whole lot better and let me
 know someone else was there and cared.  Hugs can say much more.

  They say I care, I understand, I love you, Hello, Goodbye and
 it says all the words we cannot say.

There are many types of hugs.  The quick how are you doing hug,
 the long goodbye hug.  The I understand hug, the hug of passion
 and many more.  No matter what hug it is almost always it makes
 the giver and receiver feel better.


Unfortunately it is reported that most people do not get hugged
 enough.  It is recommended that we each get one hug a day.  I 
know I could go for that.  There are some people you met when it
 is not cool to hug and then when you want to you can't.  For
 some a hug just isn't natural; it should be. But maybe we should
 forget all that and just do it.  If we all set out to hug one
 person a day we would all get that hug that we need and so would
 the other person.  It can make a difference in someone's day,
 and that someone could be you.  


Think about how much you like to be hugged.  If you hugged one
 person and they felt good, they would probably go out and hug 
someone else and they someone else.  Pretty soon there is a lot
 of hugging going on.  Who knows that hug might even come back to
 you!  So why don't we do that?  Why don't we start our own
 hugging chain!  Start small and think baby steps first hug your
 pillow, then your pet, kids, sibling, husband, wife, friend,
 co-worker or the mailman. Just do it!

I hear some people laughing and saying no not me. Well for those
 people I say okay don't hug.  Yes you heard me don't hug.  What
 I want you to do is to Smile.  A smile has the same effect.  Not
 the fake smile we use when were annoyed.  I real smile a smile
 that comes from the heart.  A smile that puts sparks in your
 eyes and a smile that lingers on the face.  One smile can make a
 word a difference and so can a hug.

Who knows we might just start a revolution!
