Are You A Hugger? My family are huggers – they hug to say hello and they hug to say good-bye. These last few years I’ve come to appreciate a hug. It relieves pain, suffering, depression and loneliness. It gives me a feeling of belonging, eases my fears and builds my self-esteem, and its free for the taking.

So, hug the people you care about because what you give in this case – you also receive back.
