International Hug Holiday

Today's a Holiday thats not one I would normally celebrate but what the heck -it's monday..


Hugs

It's wondrous what a hug can do.
A hug can cheer you when you're blue.
A hug can say, "I love you so,"
Or, "Gee, I hate to see you go."​
A hug is "Welcome back again!"
And "Great to see you!”
Or “Where've you been?"
A hug can soothe a small child's pain
And bring a rainbow after rain.​
The hug! There's just no doubt about it,
We scarcely could survive without it.
A hug delights and warms and charms,
It must be why God gave us arms...​
Hugs are great for fathers and mothers,
Sweet for sisters, swell for brothers.
And chances are some favorite aunts
Love them more than potted plants.​
Kittens crave them. Puppies love them.
Heads of state are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier.
And make the dullest day seem merrier.​
No need to fret about the store of 'em.
The more you give, the more there are of 'em.
So stretch those arms without delay
And give someone a hug today!​

Rules to Safe Hugging
  1. Always respect another's space.
  2. Ask permission before hugging.
  3. A hug is a compassionate gesture,
    hug accordingly.
  4. A hug is a gentle embrace,
    not the Heimlich Maneuver.
  5. Be "in" the hug, don't simply
    go through the motion.
  6. Happy Hugging!

Have you hugged your favorite person today? :D
