hugs... memories...
I spent last shabbat with a bunch of very snuggly people. Being back is a stark reminder of how generally lacking the world is in hugs. I forget a lot that most people are actually quite huggable. I spent over five hours with a friend last night, and finally remembered to hug him goodbye. It's good to have huggable friends.
This morning, I put hugging pictures on my wall! Maybe you're there:
