when is the last time you’ve been genuinely hugged?
I remember this one hug
someone I’d met at a hostel
a thank-you hug for an awesome shiatsu massage
just standing there, being present
soaking up the moment
feeling like I’d met an old friend
hugs connect
comfort
without words
from my heart to yours
P. S. I know these past few years, hugs have occasionally become a rare good. Yet another reason to really cherish them when they do come along – and to hug more often :).
You can always expect a big, genuine hug from me each time you come home to visit 😊
