Tuesday's Tribute: Hugs


Join the Tuesday Tribute fun over at Angie's 7 Clown Circus!

My Tuesday's Tribute is dedicated to hugs.

I could really use one (or 100) today...If you need one too, here you go....

{{{{{{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}}}}}

I love hugging my kids....we hug alot around these parts....I love hugging Shadow and Gordie, our ornery pets....I love hugging my family....I love hugging my pillow when I sleep....Catherine always has her arms wrapped around bears, unicorns, Fancy Nancy and about 20 various soft squishy friends each night.
Tween Caveboy hugs his video game controller...hee hee hee...

Hugs mean so many things...hello, goodbye, congratulations....they are better than a bandaid when you're hurt....they lift your spirits...they connect you with the human race....

I know this has been around the land of Blog for a while, but it really does speak volumes about the power of such a simple yet deeply meaningful gesture...the hug....It's about 3 minutes, but it's a touching, heartwarming, moving 3 minutes.... (thanks to Ann at Ann Again...and Again for sharing this a while back..it really touched me!)



Go rock your {{{HUG}}} power today! Spread the hug love all over the place!

xoxo,
Dawn

I'm all about the hugs. I love to hug and be hugged. I think if we all hugged each other every day the world would be a better place.

I'm a hugger. I have a friend who doesn't have an affectionate family, so she doesn't like to be hugged.
fancy nancy and unicorn hugs...now that sounds like this house!!!
Hugs are amazingly powerful, arent' they? I remember reading about the hug thing in Europe a few years ago and thinking it was so cool.

Sending you a huge cyber hug! :)

Great post. So simple that they are hardly thought of, but so important! {{hugs}} to you!

Tuesday's Tribute...Heartbeat..It's a Lovebeat

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. I am paying my Tuesday's Tribute to Chilly. Today we celebrate our first Heartaversary. What is a Heartaversary, you ask? Well, settle in with a cuppa and let me weave a tale of wonder... One year ago today I was pacing the waiting room floor of University Medical Center in Tucson waiting for my husband’s surgeon to inform me if Chilly had survived his triple bypass. I’ll spare you the sordid details of how all this came about. I’ll just say that it was very fast and unexpected. The prospect of losing my spouse in my early 40’s wasn’t in my plan obviously. My plan was more of a “hanging with the kiddos, going to the Renaissance Faire, beating my son at Guitar Hero, driving my husband crazy for decades” kind of plan. But God always has a bigger plan for us. In this case, he was trying to keep Chilly on the planet for a while longer. As I have written before, Chilly has had two very challenging years. He has been a diabetic for a couple of decade
