A hug is just a hug, right ?? Wrong.
I was reminded last night how simple it is to give someone a hug, but just how much it can mean.
Someone wrote somewhere that hugs were invented to let people know you love them without having to use words.
Have to say...that's totally true: a hug says everything words can't.
* A hug can say, "I love you".
* You are special to me, I see your soul and you are beautiful to me.
* A hug can say, "You are not alone."
* A hug can make one feel safe and secure.
* You can't wrap love in a box, but you can wrap a person in a hug.
* A hug is two hearts wrapped in arms.
A hug can break down barriers that sometimes words cannot do.
At times, it can speak more than any words can say.
We bond with a hug.
We find comfort with a hug. We greet and separate from each other with a hug.
We establish human contact and interaction with a hug.
The beauty of a hug is in its simplicity.
The gesture towards another human being, known or unknown, is easy.
It costs nothing but a simple act of caring and kindness.
Human beings thrive on touch and often languish without it. We are social creatures. The simple act of hugging can lift a person and make them feel connected to someone else. When you embrace another human being, for those few moments, you have to let go of everything and focus on that hug.
