I think I already knew this.

I heard the results of this study on TV this morning.  After some study, scientists have discovered that hugging is good for you, and it feels good too.  They did stress that they were talking about 'consensual hugging.'  Hugging calms you, relieves stress and generally makes both people feel good.  I'm assuming here that they studied two-people hugs as opposed to group hugs. I am blessed with a family full of good huggers so the results of this study were not very surprising.  In fact, I really doubt if it needed a study to prove that hugs are a good thing. Ask any three year old with a boo-boo or, for that matter, any adult who's feeling stressed. Hug on America!!
