Hugs...

Last night I got to go to a Christmas Open House....and then out to meet a friend ... It was such a NORMAL night in a lot of ways...and yet it was not at all normal because I have not been doing such things for the past months....And today, I am ever so happy from having given myself permission to do that...To see people I have not seen in years...to connect in a healthy way...no illness...no talk of illness...just laughter and HUGS.....
What is it about the power of a hug? I still feel those arms of friends wrapped around me....I still feel the power of the feelings put behind those hugs....Now, some of the people that were at the party DO know what is going on...Some of them have no idea...So some of the hugs held a different meaning than others...but all of them brought powerful messages....Today, I wish that I could reach out and HUG all of you who come here....So if you would please...take your right arm and place it on your left shoulder....take your left arm and place it on your right shoulder...Now....squeeze...tightly
warmly ...and lovingly....CONSIDER YOURSELF HUGGED!
