Hugs

Before reading this post I'd like to say for the record, I do not encourage anyone to hug right now unless the person you are hugging is in your "bubble" and hopefully COVID free. One of my new favorite quotes from a book I recently read is about hugs:

"When you hug someone, you learn something else about them.  An important something else."

I happen to be a hugger and believe I can tell a lot from the way a person hugs.  Let me rephrase, I am a selective hugger (which maybe says a lot more about me than I wish)*.  Emotion tends to translate through hugs and having not been able to hug friends and family in a while, it's one of the few interpersonal actions I miss**.

Anyway, any guesses where that quote exists?

* I am known to hug random people...I apparently appear very maternal to individuals under stress and having offered a hug to those people, they willingly accepted (and they weren't pickpockets!).  I also rarely turn down a hug.

** I sound terrible saying this, but I don't miss much about social interaction.  I miss only a smidgen about it...all the rest I manage to continue on with virtually or in some other manner to meet my own personal needs.  I don't feel like I need interpersonal moments.  But hugs...yea, I miss hugs.
