so i've been thinking about hugs today..i used to be a very big hugger, i'd hug anyone. then i had some rough times and stopped hugging. over the years, i've learned to hug again, but i've been more selective about who i will hug. recently, i've begun to hug more...but i have been hugging like i mean it, which is the way i used to do it. i've been instructed, by the wise Mrs. Grace, that hugs should be performed heart to heart. that is, with your head over your hugee's left shoulder, thus aligning your hearts. i'm not sure it makes a difference, but just the thought of giving a more meaningful, heartfelt hug should make it a weightier gesture, don't you think?
some random hug related quotes i found on the world wide webz:

I'd rather play hug o' war.
Where everyone hugs instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug..
Where everyone kisses,
and everyone grins,
and everyone cuddles,
and everyone wins.
~Shel Silverstein
this is what makes me smile:
hugs.
