In consumating Real Estate deals oftentimes there are hugs of joy that the process has been completed, a new house purchased, the search is over, a new journey has begun, and perhaps friends have been made.
The gift of our touch is vastly underestimated. Depending on our culture and our practice and our upbringing some of us are the more touchy, feely types and feel more comfortable with hugs than others. But throughout life there will be times when you too will need hugs. Times when you are depressed or in grief. Give a hug to share a joyful moment. It costs nothing. Like a boomerang it comes back to you. Drew Barrymore said she wished she were an octopus so she could give ten people a day hugs. Practice another facet of love in the world. Give someone a hug. It will make you feel GREAT!
Teri: I think the ones that are the most squeamish about receiving hugs probably need them the most.
Jason: We always have fun with the group hug laughing about it. What is the term? Show me some love :)
Norma: You are right on track for GREAT emotional health for you and those around you.
I hug almost everyone when I meet up with them (not strangers) and when I leave them. I always try to say nice things to them during our conversation. You know like you look great today or that was a good way to handle that. I also tell all the kids, my home is a place to get away, in this house we support each other and treat each other with respect. There are plenty of people in the world who will belittle you and criticize what you do. Don't do it to each other. Good Blog for us touchy feely people.
Keith & Robin: Totally understandable about the lion, but this story had the guy taking care of the maltreated lion and they said somehow this lion responded with affection. Amazing.
Carol: Lose not hope because of others. Money can bring out the worst in people at times as we all see, especially in tough negotiations. But there are a lot of good people around too.
Lu: The Prince of Peace, the source of love.
Evelyn: Wouldn't that be a cool experiment to go around with a sign about Free Hugs? You would definitely draw attention (and hopefully hand out many free hugs).
