They say humans need at least 8-12 hugs per day. And it is true - there is so much value in sharing a hug with a loved one or friend. I believe so much positive and healing energy can flow between two humans sharing a friendly embrace.
Working in a hospital with a bunch of pretty egotistical Doctors can sometimes drain any amount of positive energy you have right out of your system. Nobody says hello or shares a smile or even gives you eye contact as you pass by the hospital halls! This can really make you feel lost and alone. Indeed, being from California where, although obviously not perfect, we are definitely much nicer to each other, it can really start to wear on the soul to feel no love.
Therefore, I hope we will all take a moment today to remember to reach out to one of our friends. Share a smile, call them, LAUGH with them. And better yet, as you pass strangers on the street, acknowledge their existence with a smile and a nod of the head.
And afterwards, share how you felt in the comments section here. We can create our own little "Chicken Soup for the Soul" corner.
HUGS TO YOU ALL!
Helllllooooo Hovig....H and I went to Capitola over the weekend and walked thru our favorite art gallery; Mr. Kincaid (the artist) had released a painting for christmas that was entitled "Christmas in New York"!!!! It was of Rockefeller Center -featuring the ice rink AND the Christmas Tree made famous by your blog entry!!! Of course, I had to share the story with the gallery owner who actually seemed to enjoy your holiday escapade!(or at least humored me with the hope that we might purchase said painting. He downloaded a picture and story of the painting from the artist's website for me to send to you. It will be on its way via snail mail shortly! Sending you hugs and smiles across the miles!!
