    Free hugs

    Not that Beo needs any encouragement...

    A friend sent me this link. Thought it was nice and I'd share.

    Hugs for trouble... hope your toe's better soon.

    I'll be after a few hugs from you in Camber next month.

    Am already planning to get some friends together , put on my HUG DEALER T-shirt and pound the streets of Aberdeen some weekend

    but then I'm crazy like that anyway. I often do odd things for complete strangers just to make their day

    That's fantastic! Makes me want to join Beo on his hug dealing day out in Aberdeen!

    There's definitely not enough hugs in the world...... If people hugged each other more, I'm sure the world would be a slightly happier place to be.

    Here's a little story:

    Many years ago, I met a guy who had AIDS. He felt totally alienated by society, and most people shunned him.

    I took time to listen to his story (which I'm not going to repeat here), which was truly heartbreaking. At the end of the story, I spontaniously gave him a hug, which made him cry. He told me what he missed most in his life, was hugs.

    A hug can make such a difference in someone's day.

    Hug more.

    I'm in severe deficit then. I'm lucky if I get one hug in a blue moon. Last time was on Friday, but can't remember the time before that.

    But then I'm guilty, I probably don't give enough out - though I'm not going to blame myself too much as I'm often busy giving out other stuff. And the friend I see most often isn't really into hugs (just a quick kiss on the cheek).

    K, I'm starting to feel depressed now.
