Hugging is so healthy...it helps the immune system, cures depression,reduces stress, and induces sleep. It's invigorating, rejuvenating,
and has no unpleasant side effects. Hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug.
Hugging is all natural. It is organic, naturally sweet, with no artificialingredients, it's non-polluting, environmentally friendly,
and 100 percent wholesome.
Hugging is the ideal gift to give someone. Great for any occasion,fun to give and receive, shows that you care, comes with it's own
wrapping, and, of course, is fully returnable.
Hugging is practically perfect. No batteries to wear out,inflation-proof, non-fattening, no monthly payments,
theft-proof, and nontaxable, now that makes me smile!
Hugging is an under-utilized resource with magical powers.When we open our hearts and arms, we encourage others
to do the same thing.
Think of the people in your life. Are there any wordsyou'd like to say? Are there any hugs you want to share?
Are you waiting and hoping someone else will ask first?
Obey that warm heart-ed impulse...
please don't wait.... Initiate!
please don't wait.... Initiate!
I just wanted to send each of you a BIG HUG...
You have helped me laugh and even shed a tear or two
because of the joy your love and kindness has brought to me.
You are each... beyond amazing...
What did I ever do before I knew you?!
Thank you for the "lift" you have given to me,
I love everyone of you, my sweet sisters and friends!

Awww. lovin' the photos. I do love hugs... Holding those arms open and wrapping them around another being is just a warm fuzzy feeling of the intangible heart emotion of love. I too like to close my posts and comments with HUGS!! because it just means I am expressing a message that all who visit are dear to me. You are a dear. Hope you are feeling downright better today. Bet your new little chair is the cat's meow! Take care and take it slow! HUGS to you Julie.

Here's a HUG back to you!
Sweet Post as always!
I love hugs so I'm happy to send one back to you. It is so nice to see you feeling well enough to post like you did yesterday & today. You must be starting to come back. Thanks for commenting today. What do I do about all the cat hair (and dog-hair too)? I have a vacuum cleaner on both floors and I seem to never leave a room without dusting something. I know I am a slave to my cats but I can't live without them.In the summer they spend most of their time in the backyard which I appreciate muchly. Hugs, Deb =^..^=x6
Hi Julie!
You always do such a lovely job posting about the things that truly matter in life!
Hugging those we love, showing them how much we care and helping them know and feel how tender love is... so very important and so necessary for LIFE!
Big HUGS back to you my dear ~ Maria
Here's a hug right back to you! :)
OH....Thanks for the hug. And here's one right back at ya!!!
I agree with your post. HUGS can change almost any mood, help with sadness...etc. etc. I wasn't raised with hugs. Therefore it was hard for me to give hugs. Years ago as a Young Women's leader I noticed that the YW liked to give me hugs. It was so uncomfortable to me. But I decided I'd better figure this hug business out. NOW....I'm a hugging fool.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Hope you are BACK to NORMAL in NO TIME!
(((((((((HUGS!))))))))
Hugs are indeed miracle workers!! LOVED this cute post!! Thanks for sharing!!
Glad to see you're on the mend!!
This is one cute post...OK...I'm ready for my hug... cinderella has all her book work done, she sporting her new pink p.j's...yup, bunny slippers are in place...arms extended...ahhhh...thank you Julie dear, I feel much better...good night...Rosie

What a wonderful post, Julie. Hugs are good ANYtime.!!
You have such a sweet spirit..I really love coming by to visit with you.
I hope your strength is coming back in full force. I know it will take a little while longer to be feeling normal again (whatever THAT is!! :))
But...it will come!
xo bj
I loved all your "hugs". I'm glad that you are doing better and getting out. The photos in the previous post are beautiful. I love that you give glory to God too. Your love for Him shines through in all of your writing. You are a blessing to all of us!
Blessings,
Marcia
I'm a real hugger Julie! I have ever been so! I cannot imagine a world without hugs, and I cannot imagine the blogger world without you in it!! You are a real treasure to each of us who love you so! we reap what we sow in life and it is obvious that you have sown a lot of love about, coz you're only getting back what you so richly deserve!! xxoo
I have to tell you, during the last 2 years of trials, there were a few times I could barely go on, and then I would go over to my daughters' home and her youngest daughter would grab her blanket and climb into my lap and just snuggle with me. That got me through so much, plain, old, simple snuggling and hugging from someone who loved me. No words, just hugs and snuggles. That is the first time in my life I realized just how much that meant, and how powerful it is....too bad everyone does not have someone to hug or snuggle.I hope you're getting lots of hugs and snuggles as you heal Julie~
Good Morning Julie!
Hugs are pretty terrific!! One can never have too many hugs!
Sure am glad that you are feeling the love and friendship that is being sent to you :)
Have a wonderful day, and I hope the sun shines and warms things up!
Hugs are required here at the Miller Homestead and man there are some really good ones that go around. I'm sure you have enjoyed the sticky peanut butter and jelly jug or the fabulous dirty child against a clean white shirt hug....all are wonderful!!!
I love to hug....so I am sending one right back to you sweet one. xoxoxo
What lovely thoughts and images, Julie...and OH, so important!
Here's a big hug for you from me...
{{{{{{{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}!!!
Hope your day is beautiful in every way!
Love all the sweet pictures. Lots of hugs go around in our family. ♥
Loving your hugging photos. So true...each and every word of what you have written!
I agree, nothing like a good hug!
Hello, dear Julie,
I am sending a big hug your way, and thanking God for the miracle he performed in your life. Each day we are given on this beautiful Earth is a miracle from Him. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, sweet friend. Sending lots of love your way! Vicki
Hi Julie, lovely lovely words, as always. Loved reading your precious post today!
Sending many hugs your way for a great weekend, much rest & sunshine. XOXOXO
I hug everyone! People & animals!
Nothing like a hug with a dog, horse, or cat!
Hugs to you, Julie!
xo, misha
Julie,
Hugs are a requirement in life ~ at least that's my opinion. :-)
xoxo

I love this post!! It's no wonder that I love to hug my kids so much. :) Well done!
Love your vintage pics here. Lovely.
Julie, A hug right back at you! This is a squeezably wonderful post! I am a hugger, so I agree with everything you said!
Thanks for visiting me this evening- to answer the questions. No I don't take down my door baskets, I just water them on the door. And baby just wanted to be in the pictures that day. He is more like a dog than a cat. He follows me everywhere.
Blessings to you, friend!
Yvonne
Hoping you have a restful weekend...with family close by...smile on Rosie
Hi Julie, my family and I are such big huggers.
Sending you one tonight!
((((Hug))))) Thanks for being a blogging friend!
Ann
We are a big hugging family!
Julie-
this is wonderful.
Hugs are the best. I love to hug.
Have a great weekend,
Laura
I wish my kids and grandkids were here right now for some hugs.
PS: Julie, hope you are healing up nicely. Continue to take it easy! We are suppose to have tornados today.
oh so precious Julie! you and I have a somekinda connection~ on our first date (forget about how long ago that was!!) my husband just hugged me at the door...when I looked puzzled he said...'hugs are more important than kisses' ...ohhhh you bet I was keeping him!!
I hug everybody whether they need it or not :)
Here's one for you (((HUGS)))
Awwww....hugs...so sweet.
Sending one to you right now!
And I hope you're feeling good!
If hugging reduces stress I had better start hugging the world!!
Great Post......Hope you are mending well!!
Love,
Marilyn
xxoo
and sending a big hub back to you...maybe we will be fortunate enough to someday see each other for a real life one!!
You must be feeling better, thinking about popcorn and all those good popcorn suggestions. You are so right about hugs, but who could say it better. Since my husband is away so much, I will go now and hug each one of my dogs and think of how blessed I am to have found you and your wisdom to help me in my life. You are right, blogging is amazing. I had no idea. -- Inger
Sending a hug back your way!
I work with a group of young people who love to hug so I get my hugs often! It truly is the best medicine!
You are so right! Hugs fix so many HUGE problems! So here's yet another hug for our friend Julie!
