I am acutely awareness that I need a hug. And my weiner Pumpkin's little arms are just too short!
Funny how my "hug need" is such a prevailing feeling this morning. It hit me when I was in the kitchen...and has followed along with me all morning.
Hugs are connection. Hugs are warmth. Hugs are tactile. And I, my friend, am a very tactile person. :)
There is a poster that says you need so many hugs every day to remain healthy. I don't remember the number but I think they are right. I don't imagine that I will drop over today from lack...but...I find it quite interesting that I so clearly feel the absence of them.
I think that happens more and more as you come to peace with yourself. It's easy to ignore things even if they are shouting in your ears if your life is chaotic..and full of endless clutter.
It's when you strip that away...peel the layers away..that you get a clearer picture of what you have and what you don't. What you truly want. What you have created space for.
One of my intentions this year is to create a intimate family for myself. I do not know what that will look like yet. But as of this morning...I know that intimate family will have to like to hug at least once a day :)
I don't think that should scare them...I shall frame it like "an apple a day" and say it 's all about maintaining radianthealth. I think they will be okay with that. Ahhhh I know I will be :)
