I Will Take A Hug Please

In honor of Grandparents Day, I found the most wonderful information.

“The average duration of a hug between two people is 3 seconds. But researchers discovered when a hug lasts 20 seconds, it produces a therapeutic effect on the body and mind. 

A sincere hug produces oxytocin, the love hormone.

This wonderful tranquilizer is offered for free every time you take a person in your arms, cradle a child, caress an animal or dance with our partner. 20 seconds. Mindful, present therapy for both parties.”

I personally ADORE hugs.

Now I know why.....

Please hug someone you love today,

Love you beyond the moon.
