@maranncha Back at you. It is hard to remember that I need to have compassion for myself. It is easy to blame myself for things. My friend told me to wrap my arms around myself...self hug. I forget to do that. Thank you for the reply. Grateful for all of you.

Here's a hug you can see, print, carry with you, or share.
My dad was the best hugger! I made this [business-sized] card and gave them out to everyone as a "reverse offering" at my dad's memorial service (2001). My mom said, even years later, how friends told her they "still carry John's hug with them". I had a ministry for years where I left cards in random places to brighten someone's day(public restrooms on the toilet paper dispenser, at the gas pump in the credit card slot, on the table with tips at restaurants, in the "seat pocket in front of you" on plane flights, ...) Everyone can use a hug! Best when it comes unexpectedly from someone you don't know. One waitress told me once she had a pile of cards she's received that she can draw from to "pay it forward". I was happily outed as a chronic restaurant patron. lol (My mom told me once shortly after I got married, from one wife to another, "you need to feed your husband." Hmmm. Well, there are different ways to accomplish that...)
Anyway, consider yourself hugged!
Blessings
