Day 23: Nine to Survive, Twelve to Thrive

I find that I don't crave them nearly as much as I used to because Joseph provides a limitless supply, but hugs are essential to me. I've had many times where I've simply asked a roommate, a friend, or even a stranger for a hug because I have just needed one. My grandfather's girlfriend, Jane, was a big hugger, too. She recently passed away, but a maxim of hers was that you needed nine hugs each day to survive and twelve to thrive. So in memory of Jane, may I suggest that you go share a dozen hugs and make the world a little bit better!
