I thing you're absolutely right that hugs – or any type of physical connection with others – is very important to our emotional well-being. Sadly, we've become obsessed with treating any type of contact between people as being sexual in nature that we now shy away from making such gestures. Here's hoping that we starting focusing more on how reassuring and comforting it feels when we're being held in the arms of another person.

Thanks again, Angelina, for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. Sending a hug your way.

Hugs like smiles are contagious. But more importantly they are necessary for the emotional well-being of so many people. Particularly, those who live in isolation. A simple touch can be healing and validating. Yes, do pass it on.

I'm glad that I could share this smile with you. Thanks for taking the time to share this – you've reciprocated by putting a smile on my face.

Have a great day and thanks again for the comment.
