Hug It Out

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love HUGS!

A hug can make you feel so much better in half a second.

And I fully believe the human race has lost physical contact and replaced it with blogs and texting.

I encourage more touching, more physical expression of friendship, love, and admiration....

So many people when they see you try and just high five you.

I stop dead in my tracks and say, "I don't high five. I hug."

And they give me a hug.

And it makes me even more happy to see them!

Before I leave I must give everyone a hug.

Well today while celebrating my birthday at the Smith Household everyone went around and said something really nice.

My favorite came from 4 year old Easton.

" I love Mandi because she loves giving me hugs."

Maybe it is because I was already feeling overcome with gratitude for this wonderful family but as the very last person to give their reason of appreciation for me, little Easton really touched my heart.

I do love giving Easton hugs!!

but... I Can't think of a single hug I didn't like.
