Who Wants a Hug!

Do you need a hug? They say it takes 10 hugs a day to feel invigorated, and I for one believe it. There is something quite nice about hugs and I'm not talking about the one arm, uncomfortable, two pat on the back kind. I'm talking about the real deal.
With that introduction, let's talk about some of the hugs I've received over the years. When I was a baby I got a lot of hugs. I really don't remember too many of them though. I know you've heard people say "that guy is messed up because he was either held too little or too much as a kid." I'm not that guy. I was held the proper amount, my parents kept detailed records and I have checked them out against the historical greats. My Held Minutes Per Day (HMPD) were less than one standard deviation from such greats as Winston Churchill, Socrates, Thomas Jefferson, and Nelson Mandela. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. As I grew the hugs changed. When I was three, my sister was born, so I had to start giving hugs of my own. Up until that point I mostly received hugs, but then I was required to start initiating the hugs. I'd have to say at that young age is where I really began to learn the art and science of the hug. Where do you put your arms when the person is taller than you? What if they're shorter than you or the same height? I've never hugged anyone that was missing their arms or even a part of an arm for that matter. I wonder how that would be. I'm not saying this to be mean, it is really just curiosity. People's insecurities affect their behavior. Would someone without an arm be as likely to hug? I apologize if these questions seem insensitive, but they are honest queries. Today I asked my parents who was a better hugger. My Dad claimed that he was better than Mom. I'm not sure how you would judge this, but we all know people that give lousy hugs. Those people are mostly standoffish huggers. There is nothing quite like a warm embrace from a friend, lover, parent, sibling, teacher, police officer, or clown. Everybody deserves a good hug. I challenge you to find someone you can count on to constantly deliver good quality hugs. It is important and will invigorate you as you go about your day, and who couldn't use a little extra spring in their step. Thanks for reading my hug message. It has been fun to deliver. If you need a hug just drop me a line and let me know where you live and I will find you. For a small fee I can even put you in touch with a group of excellent huggers in your zip code. The foolishness is over...Holla'
