Considering the negative thoughts I've had this past week towards my upstairs neighbors (today being no exception--some people are so incredibly rude), I thought I'd aim for something truly positive and uplifting this week. This is adapted from the Family Circus cartoon by Bill Keane, printed in this past Sunday's comics.

Have you hugged your honey today?
WHAT a great list! I think hugs are too often underappreciated. They really ARE important.
LOVE this list! :)
I'm a hugger and I'm proud to admit it! And this list just makes me want to do it more. Cheap therapy!
They make you laugh! Timeless gems is Family Circle.
Smile Heather, and stay with the positive, the negative will only allow them to have some say in your life - and I think they're too rude for that honor.
{{{Hugs}}} Just because! LOVE this list.

Hugs improve blood flow? Really?
Awww, hugs are just the greatest.
Kids are the greatest huggers too. :)
Thanks, everyone! :)
Don't forget that pets need hugs too. ;)
I LOVE hugs. My kids are little, so I get my quota...I'll go through withdrawals when they get to the 'leave me alone' stage
awwww
Hugs everyone!!
I love hugs and sure you get the mushy award girl!
Man, I have neighbours beside me that definitely raise tensions. Maybe I should try more hugs!
Well maybe, but
1. they spread germs- great way to catch the latest flu. Hug a bird and get bird flu, too.
2.they crease your clothes
3.you need to know the rules- who hugs first? Who lets go first? How long do you hold your hug? So much new stuff to learn.
4. Kids always hug you with jammy fingers.
5. When you most need a hug, no one wants to be near you.
6.Some hugs are an excuse to pin your arms so you can't reach the last cookie.
7. Just add an R and hugs are a shrug.
8. Or leave it out and get a gush.
9. Hugs make you weak. If you doubt this, hug some big tall handsome hunk and feel your knees turn to jelly.
10. hugs should be illegal to those not using underarm deodorant.
11. Or to pig farmers
12. Sewerage workers
13. And grumpy writers. (see number 5) Lucky I'm not grumpy at the mo. Where's my hug?
Baaaay-aaabe!
I swear I'll think of a suitable punishment for that as soon as I stop laughing. (((HUG)))
Kissa~ Thanks, but think I'll have to share the mushy award with Gina, after that beautiful tribute to her daughter. *grin*
hehehehe
How did I miss this one? LMAO at you and Babe. For me, hugs keep me going during the day.
FABULOUS list.
I think I need a hug. :)
I've been in the "I need hugs" mode for months. Hugs ROCK!!!
