I learnt, when I was 42, if you put your arm out,
People will hug you.
I tried it on my mechanic, and it worked.
I tried it on my Mum; it worked again,
Although she was shocked!
We don't hug our family.
Hugs and cuddles are an excellent way to show love,
It's a marvellous change from my childhood experiences.
Today, take the time to cuddle someone you love,
It's important to express those amazing positive feelings
That are part of wonderful you!

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Hugging is the best feeling in the world! So warm and fuzzy!
I am gonna go cuddle my dog because of this! <3
You know how much I love this little one. I know first hand your struggles with cuddles. And that opening is everything lol. Because it's relatable to many I'm sure but love the little bit of humour in there too (though I do know it's based on reality) Well done, darling!
