Birthday Hugs

We need four hugs a day for survival. We need eight hugs a day for maintenance. We need twelve hugs a day for growth. - Virginia Satir

It’s my birthday today and thanks for the e-cards, emails, cards in the mail, phone calls, text messages. Birthdays bring hugs- lots of them. All of them are different.

There’s the one where you just want to run and hide from it all with your special teddy bear who understands more than what you could possibly say.

Or there’s that hug from someone who assures you everything will be okay.

And the one that heals the heart. 

A hug is for the moment and it always delivers more than what you asked for. Now when you either can’t reach out and touch someone,  the “verbal hug” still works. These are words or phrases that describe a deep appreciation and acknowledgment for someone. Try this today and use phrases such as:

“You are great, I really appreciate all your help.”

“That was so kind of you to do all that work.”

“What a wonderful thing you just did”

“Wow, you are fantastic!”

“You are awesome”

“You rock”

“I so much appreciate your help on this”
