Hugs were a big thing in my therapy groups last week. During the in-person group on Monday, several people spontaneously gave and received hugs. In the on-line groups, I suggested giving oneself hugs as a mindfulness exercise.
I think people need hugs these days, so I’m including some hugs in today’s images.















Hugs to the Institute for Therapeutic Ridicule and to everyone else who answers my questions on social media.
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “hugs.”
I also find this.
Thankful hugs to all who help me create these daily posts, including YOU!

Hugs to you, Lisa! 💕
At a party a guy introduced himself as “a hugger” but he didn’t hug me. Several weeks later I saw him at another event and I mentioned that. He apologized then we laughed and hugged, and before I left he hugged me again which I appreciated.
I appreciate that hugger and you, my friend.
Hugs on this Monday morning, Ann.
Hugs back to you on Thursday, my good friend.
