Hugs

So I have been thinking...here I am at college and I have made a bunch of new friends, but I thought that something has been missing that was always there in friendships that I've had in the past. Not knowing what this was, I took two of my friends to my High School so that I could but tickets to the drama production for this weekend. Since rehearsal was going on, my friends in the play were all having dinner when I walked into the cafe. As I saw each of my friends, I got a hug from each of them, most hugs being the kind that lasts a few seconds because you haven't seen the person in a while. As I continued thinking about these hugs, I realized that whenever I see one of my really good friends that I had before college, whether the friend was one I've had since kindergarten, one from the drama department, or one from my Antioch retreats, I always hug them when I see them, I even hug their siblings when I see them. I want you all to do something now. Go out and find someone, whether it be a friend, or just someone you kinda know and give them a hug. For a little inspiration, here is a picture of me, Krista, and Nicole, "hugging" for a picture at Krista's 18th birthday.
