It's Wonderful Wednesday and it's about...
HUGS
I love to give hugs!!
You might've seen the picture below...maybe, you already know the story....
it's such a wonderful story, tho... it's worth revisiting.
One of these sweet little girl twins was doing very well
after being born 12 weeks early...the other was not...she was dying.
At that time and place (1995 in a medical centre in Massachusetts),
it was common practice to separate twins to take measures for
their survival. After exhausting all measures for the dying twin...
the doctors decided to put them together. The healthier twin
put her arm around her sister. The less healthy twin's heart and oxygen levels
improved almost immediately...they both went home...healthy!
Sometimes people aren't really huggable...but, they just might need a
HUG anyway..
A hug helps TWO hearts at once...the hugg-er and the hug-ee.

reduce the unhealthy effects of stress and cuts risk of heart disease!

I just had to say it again!
I try to ask a person first...before I wrap my arms around them.
I guess...some people don't like hugs.

I want to respect that. Some of my kids don't like hugs...
I usually ask if they would let me give them one.
They don't have to hug back. =)

I try to give a hug to at least one person each day. I usually squeeze
my (89 pound) Bullmastiff "puppy" many times each day.
If, I travel away from home and there's no one

If, I travel away from home and there's no one
around to hug...
you might find me hugging a favorite stuffed animal.

What do you think about these wonderful hugs?
Are you an "all the time" type hugger?
Are you an "all the time" type hugger?
Or, do you prefer only hugging those closest to you?
Do you hug your pets often? What or who have you hugged today?
It's fun for all those who visit if you share your comments!
I can't give all of you a "real" hug...but, I would like to give you
all cyber hugs! ....so...
HUGS for all those who drop by to visit now and then.
HUGS to all of my followers!

Love your post today. I'm a hugger!
Great post! I'm sort of a hugger - it's hard not to be in the South! I won't say I hug everyone, but I hug a lot!!
Lovely thoughts.
Hugz, D'Ann
I'm a sometime hugger. I do hug my two pups several times a day and my hubby too. When I was growing up - hugging wasn't something we did in my family but I'm learning - ever so slowly.
Hugs to you, Annie!!!
I don't overly hug, but I do hug. Nice post.
I apologize for an earlier comment from an annonymous commentor...using profanities. =( The post has been deleted.

Great story about the twins. The power of love is amazing. I'm a hugger too:)
*sniff* that is so adorable about the twins.
Hugs right back at ya!
I'm developing into a hugger but I'm still a bit surprised by compulsive huggers who just grab you with no warning!
Just became a follower - and sending a cyber hug :-)
I have a co-worker who fosters mastiffs. She is up to 14 dogs with the mastiffs and the 10 she already owns. Yikes. That is a lot of dogs and big dog to boot. I gave my little chihuahua mixes a hug and the hub.
