If I could suggest, we all get up out of our seats,walk over to someone,give them a hug and tell them you love them and then we'll move forward,doing God's will ,loving Him and loving others!

I do love them, by my family and friends, a few times in the meetings a few years ago, about 6 months apart, I got a big spontanious whopping hug from two friends, that had really horrible, and I mean Horrible colds, stated afterwards, wow, I have this cold, and sure enough in both cases, I came down with that really horrible cold in two days.....just for me, If I am sick, I dont go to meetings, but that experience that took over 2 months to get over each time....turned me in another Hug- a- phobe.
Still love em though, and if a good friend that I feel certain in not sick, I will do the huggies when saying good bye.
So with that, I will send a big fat cyber hug to all......... as Jerry pointed out yesterday, just a real.....
Hugs are good at meeting to a point. I can sure tell that some of the men are at it for the wrong reasons for sure lol. But what really makes me crazy is this woman who comes to my home group and goes around the room and hugs EVERYONE.....which to each thier own. But will always come up when I am talking (before meeting) in deep conversation, and stands and will not leave till I stop my conversation and give her a hug. I find that so rude. But, I guess that is my problem. I now just accept that is what will happen and give her a hug and she moves on lol. I also make sure that when she is speaking at a meeting I find something good in her message or I could develope a resentment towards her. This program helps me everyday with my short comings. HUGS to you All!!!!!!
