Nothing in the world feels like a hug. When you don't know what to say, give a hug. Not only do hugs feel really, really good, but they are needed. I believe a hug is worth a thousand words.

Hugs and Mental Health
by Beth McHugh
Researchers at the UK's Manchester Metropolitan University in England have concluded what we all suspected: hugs are healing. But scientists warn we are caught in an epidemic of a non-hugging culture where we are either too time-poor to hug, or political correctness gets in the way.

Statics say it is good, so it must be good. I was never a hugging person growing up. It is something I had to learn as an adult.

Hugs might feel good, but they have nothing to do with health
Free Hugs
Hug-A-Rama
In the great city of brotherly love, would the "free hugs" of three women be welcomed with arms wide open or avoided like the plague? See this article for more details on the experiment: http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/15840607.htm

Elephants need hugs too!
Hugs
That always warms the heart;
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.
A hug's a way to share the joy
And sad times we go through,
Or just a way for friends to say
They like you 'cause you're you.
Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care,
From your grandma to your neighbour,
Or a cuddly teddy bear.
A hug is an amazing thing -
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
But can't find the words to say.
It's funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good;
In every place and language,
It's always understood.
And hugs don't need new equipment,
Special batteries or parts -
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts.
Jill Wolf
