Everybody Needs A Hug!

July 13-19 is the Hug Week. Yes, you heard read it right!

So show all your family and friends you care by giving Hugs to everyone!! Because…image

There's something in a simple hug
That always warms the heart;
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part

A hug's a way to share the joy
And sad times we go through,
Or just a way for friends to say
They like you 'cause you're you

Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care,
From your grandma to your neighbor,
Or a cuddly teddy bear

A hug is an amazing thing - GroupHug
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
But can't find the words to say

It's funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good;
In every place and type,
It's always understood

And hugs don't need new equipment,
Special batteries or parts
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts

By Johnny Ray Ryder Jr

So Hug, coz an American Psychologist said…

We need 4 hugs a day for survival.

We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance.

We need 12 hugs a day for growth!!

  4. Ummmm... nice week, this one. But... why do we need to have only one week set aside for hugs???

  5. @ Sheetal: A Big Hug to You, Shailendra and Nick Baby too! :)

    @ Roshmi: Its like, do we need a Father's Day or a Mother's Day or a Valentine's Day to celebrate our love and appreciation for our parents and our love??

    We love and appreciate all that is done by our parents always, but still we dedicate this one day to them!

    Or why do we celebrate Peace Day or Human Rights Day on a specific day, when we need peace and human rights every day!

    It's dedicating a day or a week or a month for an important cause/thing!

    BTW...A Hug Day is celebrated on Jan 21st! :)
