Showing Kindness -Ink

Nice to see you then I give a warm hug 
Transferring energies from me to you
Embracing longer than most ever do
Injecting kindness like some kind of drug

Hope the hug was before social distancing haha - but it is the nicest way to show kindness and give support and humane love. Well penned Cecelia. Blessings, Jennifer.

Haha, yes my hugs are on standby for now. A hug conveys so much and boosts the immune system which we need more then ever, but ironically can't do. Thank you. Hugs

It makes me feel sad that we may no longer hug and be close like this during this pandemic. I hope one day we may return to the ways that make us happy. This is very nice Cecilia. xxoo

They certainly are. Big hug Richard.

Hugs are the best two-way gifts. Free to give, wonderful to receive. Transfering energy ~ John

There should be a 'hugs clause' in all the social distancing laws (ooh, that rhymes!) Smiles!

Hugging also boosts the immune system. We need them more then ever, but the Coronavirus is putting a halt to that.

Very well said my friend. Sometimes when others are grouchy for no reason they really do need some kind of a hug. Whether a real physical hug or just a kind word or a sympathetic ear. Great job. God Bless, JB

The best thing it costs nothing and makes both the giver and receiver feel good within. It certainly makes the world a better place. Good luck Tom

It seems to be getting worse by the day, what worries me is people who contract it that have had no contact with those already infected.

Cecilia Macfarlane

March 7, 2020 at 6:10 PM

Yes, and hugging also boosts the immune system, but with this Corona virus floating about, people are getting scared. Thanks Tom. Hugs

I so love this! Beautiful and true! I shared a tragic day with one of my bosses. When the anniversary of the day came about, of which she shared the brunt of, she mentioned it. I looked at her and warned her that I was going to give her a hug. Just had to. Here’s a hug for you too and I think you will win this!

Cecilia Macfarlane

March 7, 2020 at 8:48 AM

A hug is so therapeutic and I bet it helped your boss. Thank you for such a warm comment. Big hug to you.
