A hug a day keeps the doctor away

After visiting a lot of websites, I was willing to give up on the 'good news task'.
All of it seemed either irrelevant or naive.. not very convincing somehow.
And then I realized that it all depends on the way we look at things and on our attitude, don't you think? A ray of sun on a cloudy day or a newborn baby.. those can really be great news! :)

And so, I've chosen something that seems a bit trivial and naive, but could be an encouraging and precious piece of news, especially for those who enjoy hugging.

"We need four hugs a day for survival. We need eight hugs a day for maintenance. We need twelve hugs a day for growth."

It turns out that hugging is not only pleasant, but also very healthy as it lowers stress levels, improves mood and reduces blood pressure. To read more on the subject, just click here.

And if words don't appeal to you, just try it yourself.. I know I will!
