hugs, anyone?

Hugging is good medicine. It transfers energy, and gives the person hugged an emotional boost!

You need

4 hugs a day for survival

8 hugs for maintenance

12 hugs for growth.

And, according to Sharon Lindsey ( I've got no idea who she is ) :

"Hugging is healthy: it helps the body's immunity system, it keeps you healthier, it cures depression, it reduces stress, it induces sleep, it's invigorating, it's rejuvenating, it has no unpleasant side effects, and hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug. Hugging is all natural: it is organic, naturally sweet, it has no pesticides, no preservatives, no artificial ingredients, and is 100% wholesome. Hugging is practically perfect: there are no movable parts, no batteries to replace, no periodic check-ups, has low energy consumption, high energy yield, is inflation-proof, non-fattening, has no monthly payments, no insurance requirements, is theft-proof, non-taxable, non-polluting, and is, of course, fully refundable."

Best thing is, even doctors recommend hugs!

"How important are hugging and physical and emotional contact for people affected by life - threatening illnesses? In my work, I have found that people who receive nurturing maintain a better outlook on their situation -- and historically, positive attitude is an important factor in long-term survival.
Hugging...make a difference in a person's frame of mind, and may
help their medical condition. Best of all, hugging has no side effects
and does not require a trip to the doctor.

I recommend at least one hug a day."

Mark Katz,M.D

Lastly, according to an unknown author : hugs provide stretching exercise to short people and stooping exercise to tall people!!

At times in life, regardless whether you're in school, in college, at work, I feel that there are times when we really need a hug and trust me a hug can seriously be "the cure" for your bad days! I've had enough of experiences on bad days and hugs from your friends, not necessary real hugs, coz virtual hugs will do it as well. (but obviously REAL ones work better) :)

This is dedicated to all my friends out there. I might be a pain to you at times, but I seriously don't mean to hurt you. I might not be the ideal friend for you, but to me, you guys are the best-est persons I would like to have in my life! Sorry for not keeping in touch with some of you when I was away. Really looking forward to meeting you, all of you!

a hug

No moving parts, no batteries.
No monthly payments and no fees;
Inflation proof, non-taxable,
In fact, it's quite relaxable;
It can't be be stolen, won't pollute,
One size fits all, do not dilute.
It uses little energy,
But yields results enormously,
Relieves your tension and your stress,
Invigorates your happiness;
Combats depression, makes you beam,
And elevates your self esteem!
Your circulation it corrects
Without unpleasant side effects
It is, I think, the perfect drug:
May I prescribe, my friend,....the hug!
(and of course fully returnable!)
