Below is a poem written a few years ago to my valentine, Dave. "He's a great hugger," my Aunt Annie told me when she first met Dave. We went to visit her in PA after we were married and she hosted a wedding reception for us. Aunt Annie, in her 80's now, knew from just one hug that I had made a good choice. She's right. Hope you all have hugs this Valentine's Day that remind you of what a gift it is to be loved.Hugging You
is like diving
into an envelopestationery
folded neatly in thirds
words tucked in
wrapped in ribbon
for safe-keepingShare how you feel about hugs.

Sweet poem. Dave must have loved it!
Thanks, Amber. Dave does love it and I love his hugs.
Xan sent me this comment in an email.
"Love your Valentine poem. Hallmark should hire you."
I love this poem and I love hugs. I once read that for good mental health a person needed at least four hugs each day.
That is why I hug even people I don't know well. I want those four embraces and like to pass them on.
Thank you for reminding me about the power of hugs.
Good job!
Hugs from Patsy
Thanks and hugs to you Patsy.
