Happy Sunday, crusaders! Now bring it in.
It’s National Hug Day, and it’s not a moment too soon.
In the immortal words of “Pushing Daisies”, “A hug can turn your whole day around.”
And I think we could all use one right now.
Hugs have an emotional range that goes well beyond comfort. They can share joy…
Communicate excitement…
And fill in the blanks where words fail us…
Of course, and this should go without saying, don’t forget proper hug etiquette (like making sure the other party is prepared for your emotional Heimlich). It’s safer for everyone…
It may not be a long-term solution for what ails us, but a hug is as good a place to start as any other, and (perhaps) a kind reminder that we are all human…
…bi-daily smile…
