Ignoring the "No Hugging" Sign


It's taken decades but I'm finally making a some long needed changes. I'm starting to touch people again. I'm sure I did it as a child. But most of my adulthood seems to have been ruled by a "no hugging" sign. Oh it's still there, but I'm just not following it as much as I used to.

  4. The "hugging" light was always turned on in my mom's family and turned off with almost all of my dad's relatives. One of his aunts who married into the family kept the hugging light on.

    I am a selective hugger. I have never had a problem hugging my son or my brother, but it did not seem right with other relatives and friends. I am getting more accustomed to hug, now, and I like them.
