hugs for everyone

...a few tid bits i found on the Internet:
When The Beatles sang "I want to hold your hand," little did they know that they were really appealing for a medical boost. Forty or so years later, science has shown that physical touch improves peoples health as well as their relationships. One doctor explained that touch is as important as breathing, without it children do not grow and develop. Another describes touch "as essential as sunlight.... in the absence of touching and being touched, people of all ages can sicken and grow touch starved. It can also cause people to become depressed and immune compromised, and give them lasting emotional pain and physical damage."
So, don't hold back! Give hugs!!
