Hugs and Smiles! 😃

A couple of days ago while walking down the street I saw one of the girls from my running group.  A really nice gal that I only just recently had my first chat with.  As soon as she saw me, she walked over and gave me a hug and exclaimed how she missed the running group so much and couldn't wait until the group banded back together again.  It was so random, this hug.  I don't know her well, but in that instance she made me feel so good.  I had a smile on my face for the rest of the day, and my mood had been uplifted.  Since that moment, I've been consciously thinking about giving out more hugs to people.  It's not natural for me at this point, but I'm loving the reactions I get, and the smiles that I put not just on the faces of others, but on myself as well!

I encourage you to give a few random hugs today and see for yourself the positivity that flows from such a simple act of kindness.
