I know that there are a lot of people on the boards who are needing some TLC and good thoughts sent their way at the moment.
People who are grieving, depressed, lonely, anxious and generally unhappy.
A lot of people start their own threads, but I know not everyone does, and not all the threads are read by everybody.
So, I’m going to offer
HUGS
and
GOOD THOUGHTS
to anyone and everyone who want or need them.
Maybe you’d like to do the same?
Since I’ve been in very good spirits of late, I have lots of hugs to offer. So if you need one, here you are…
{{{{{{ }}}}}}
My niece could do with a hug. It’s just a shame she’s on the other side of the Irish sea. (The English side)
What a nice idea for a thread irishgirl!
To anyone who is having a rough time of it at the moment, I offer you my best wishes.
Sure. I’ll offer a warm, comforting bearhug to anyone who could use one. 
I am full of so many hugs I don’t know what to do with them all.
Sending love and cuddles to anyone in need.
XOXOXOXOX
I’m sending a bear hug to Davebear in particular.
I’m one of those people needing a hug. Thanks.
I’ll hug anyone and everyone within arm’s reach.
Aww thanks guys! I needed that…
hugs the next 3 posters
Loads and loads of hugs from this part of New Zealand for all who need them.
I have an excess of good thoughts, vibes and hugs over here !
Free to good home !
I LOVE hugs - both giving and receiving. More hugs all around would make the world a nicer place. And you know what is really great? They’re absolutely free, and every single person has an unlimited supply of them to share!
{{{{{{{{{{everyone}}}}}}}}}}
Hugssssssssssssss to all who need them or just want them
I’m in need of one myself lately - guess I can hug myself too can’t I? lol…
I’ll take all hugs that are offered right now! And give them right back, too. {{{{{{{for all}}}}}}}
Thanks Irishgirl! I don’t need a hug today as such, but can I ask for a raincheck?
I’ll take a few hugs today, being sepated from the GF, but we’ll be back together in 8 days, and I’ll be in the mood for giving back to the hug pool.
I’m glad I checked back. I need to deliver some special delivery hugs.
{{{{Coosa}}}} You’re now on my list of special people. And, I love your sig.
{{{{RH}}}} Any time. I hope you know that.
{{{{SFT}}}} No words needed. But, is it okay if I nibble on your neck while we’re hugging? Just a little? 
{{{{ }}}} - some 'fill in the blank" hugs, for anyone who still needs them
Hugs for {{{everyone}}} and one especially for {{{Davebear}}}.
Well, I hate to keep hijacking the thread, but I can’t ignore my dear friend Branwen. I’m sorry I forgot to hug you. I was only looking at who was already here. {{{{Branwen}}}}
And, just to pre-empt the last one who might be tempted to offer me a special hug…{{{{Margo}}}}
