I recently met a musician friend of Hubs at La Fiesta and
after a bit of nattering we said Good Night and he leaned in for a goodbye hug.
He then wrapped his arms around me and hugged me with a delicious warm kind of
hug that lingered on for a few moments and then let go. NO, this isn’t a Casanova
kind of guy or a great looker (lol) and Hubs was just next to me. I also want
to add that I hardly know him and only as Hub’s friend…and he stepped back
smiling and left me a nice-warm-hug-afterglow-awww feeling. Then his brother I
didn’t know very well at all waved at me and said Good Night and I did the
same. Then he did an awwww-shucks shrug and suddenly hugged me too. Both boys
are so skinny with the longest arms and wry-crooked smiles but the hugs! Oh my Lord,
took me by such surprise! So so warm…maybe it runs in the family or something.
I mentioned this to Hubs who nodded in agreement. Its then
that I decided to give proper hugs to people I meet. I know I might come across
as a little weird and I wouldn’t do it
with office people…but in general, friends… people I haven’t met in a long time…children…pets…I’m
going to hug them properly and disseminate the ‘warm’ kind of lingering hugs.
It really makes the world a better place.
