OOOO HUGS OOOO

HUGS are such a wonderful way to show a person how you feel about them.  They come in all shapes and sizes.  They can make you feel all warm and fuzzy...

Some hugs are polite and to the point.  They reach around you but don't quite pull you into them.  They gently pat you on the back.  This is a nice hug.

Bear hugs are those that squeeze you in and almost take your breath away with the love.

Sweet hugs are the type that you are pulled in and gently hugged leaving you wanting more.

The lift hug is where you are the one hugging you lifts you off your heels with the pure force of the hug as they arch their back and pull you with them.

The long hug is comforting and saying "I do love you and don't want this to end."  Usually you get this hug as you leave someone that you don't get to see too often and they mean the world to you.

The SINGLE hugs is actually helpful.  Sometimes you need to just give your self a hug.  It can help.  Do it right now.  Squeeze!

Then there is the perfect hugger.  Yes it is true.  Some people just give a perfect hug.  I have met a few people that are talented at this art.  You feel the sincere affection from this hugger.  They pull you in fulling wrapping their arms completely around you, snuggling up to your neck and lingering just long enough to let you know who happy this hug makes them feel.  When they pull away, they are slow and look you in the eyes to tell you thank you for loving the me that I am too....  It almost takes your breathe away.  This is my favorite hug.  This is the hug that can wash my worries aside for awhile.  A smile is on my face and I skip on feeling all fuzzy wuzzy inside.

Tell me about your favorite hugger....

Sand, Water and Pelicans

Blessed is in the eye of the beholder....

We drove around in our rental golf car, a whopping $16 a day.  It was great fun for us to see all the homes, trailers, campers and such.  Most of the campers we saw were gorgeous with all the bells and whistles.  There were also old campers that they built a house over it.  Very cool to see how original it all was.  Then there were some superb homes; many of which had a beautiful view of the ocean.  As we toddled around the resort that we have our hybrid camper at, we were able to appreciate the things that others have but not be pouty that it wasn't us with the home that had an elevator, tiki bar and expanded look over the ocean.  Yes, it would be nice to have those things but our time together as a family is much more important to us than working so hard that we can't make it down here to enjoy.

A friend of mind who is very blessed has a beautiful beach home at one of my favorite places.  The problem though is that her family is hardly ever there to enjoy it.  She and her husband work so hard and for so many hours that they are unable to get away to visit their lovely sea home.

So as I sit here in this small camper of ours, I am thankful.  It is quaint but exactly what our family needs.  There is plenty of room and all the necessary amenities plus a few extra.  Some mornings are a bit cold in her and even damp.  However, some days it is just perfect.  Some days we may desire to go to the mountains and other to the ocean.  Fortunately we can load up the LUCKY OPOSSUM and head out on an adventure.

It is simple.  It is who you take with you that makes your adventures turn into memories.  With our children, our critters and one sweet little camper, my husband and I will seize the day for all that it has to offer.  Tomorrow may not come and today is what is most important.
