I always seem to find people who like to hug. There are huggers in AA, in
Religious Science and Unity and the Sufis I know are big huggers and even have a little ritual in which hearts are supposed to exchange energy. It's hard for me to get completely comfortable with it bec. my family is not touchy feely, but after 20 years of contact with people who are more naturally warm than I, I am glad for it.

And since all the bad stuff happened in my life last year, I often fall asleep hugging a 50 year old stuffed Lassie from my childhood.
