Last night, after I unexpectedly saw a huggable animal at the end of a difficult day at work, I asked this question on Twitter:
I didn’t hug that huggable kitty who was lounging on the top of a car in the lot where I had parked for my hectic and challenging day at the hospital. However, hanging out with that cat helped me feel more huggable.
I don’t know why human beings often feel less huggable when we are stressed out or in emotional distress — the very times when we would benefit greatly from hugs.
I do know that when I got home from work I asked my husband Michael for a hug, which helped me feel more huggable.
Do you see anything huggable in my other images for today?
No matter how you feel about lawyers, there are many huggable things on that list today, including “Louie Louie” which inspired my huggable son when he was a very huggable 12 year old.
Thanks to all the huggable creatures who help me blog every day, including YOU!
Ellie will get more hugs than usual from me today, Ann. Cheers to our cherished rescue mutt!
Give Ellie a hug for me, Mark!
On crepuscular. Google synonyms gives me these:
black.
cloudy.
darkened.
dim.
dingy.
drab.
dull.
foggy.
Which, I grant you, fills the bill for some folks. I, however, prefer “gloaming.” Unless you are meeting someone creepy, of course. You don’t do that in the gloaming.
As for “huggable.” I’m an elder hippie. We hug everybody and everything. I especially like hugging trees.
My huggable husband loves the word “crepuscular” and thanks for another huggable comment!
I’m a hugger by nature, but if I see a human or other animal who looks stiff or scary or not receptive to it, I will keep my distance and give a smile or kind nod. )
That makes me want to hug you, beth.
My cat resists hugs while purring all the time. I suspect the purrs are his effort to hug himself in his distress at being…hugged!
That’s very huggable, Doug!
