I have found out that the people who deserve hugs the least, need them the most!

This too is true. My oldest was born not liking hugs, the other two were always huggers still are. All grandkids are huggers.
My oldest daughter was part of an competitive Ice Dancing couple. Her partner came from a none hugging type family, my family is a hugging family. He gradually got use to me giving him a hug. Even now years after they skated together, when I see him, he actually opens his arms for me to give him a hug.

I study it quite often. Maybe too often at times. Say a prayer often too.

Love in their hearts and compassion for others.
We hug everyone who allows it. I quit hugging young ladies when I saw that one was a bit put off. I let them come to me now - Trust has to come first.
More face time and less screen time (he says while sitting at his computer).

Amen! And kids being kids instead of little dictators.Not all but some are too smarty mouth. Of course this makes victims out of them and that is not a good thing to be.
I feel bad fro kids who futures are not lookign that good but it will turn around I hope.
I come from a long line of non-huggers. Got a wonderful daughter-in-law that is trying to change that.
Personal responsibility.
Sometimes it is your fault.
Sometimes it is your fault.
Politicians who had read and understand the constitution.
- Smile at a stranger you know needs it and have a friendly chat.
- Give someone a nice compliment.
- Jumping in rain puddles.
- Slip and slide for adults as well as children.
- Helping a member of the community you see that needs a hand just because. DH helps vertically challenged people get products of the higher supermarket shelves, I help open the plastic bags in supermarkets for the elderly who struggle with it to put their fruit and veg in.
- Some other things we could all do is hold a trolley on a slope so a mum can put her infant in it to shop, surprise an elderly neighbour with a cake, biscuits, fresh produce, drop a bottle of milk off on a families front door after knocking and running away just because you know they are struggling financially, organise with your local butcher to deliver some meat to a struggling family you know in your community (anonymously) or do it yourself. Random acts of kindness .

Next you are going to want politicians who don’t lie and steal and term limits.
I am almost to the point I would vote for someone who told me how much they planned to steal if they kept their promises.

So true! Sitting at the table with a phone stuck in their face texting . Good thing my kids didn't have cell phones. About 4 years ago I told my 11 yr old grandson [ the youngest late life kid ] to take a bath, he said wait a minute. I said ' NO, you wait a minute and get yourself in that bathroom now'. He pulled at me so I told him ' you, me and the techtronics are both fixing to take a shower kiddo. He put the iphone down I left he got undressed and got into the shower, alone.
