Almost Wordless Wednesday

Who invented hugs? I mean the first hug would have been sooo awkward.

 "What are you doing, why are you holding me?" 

"Shhh just trust me"

  4. I used to not be a hugger...it would make me so uncomfortable when it came time to say good-bye and the awkward moment of "do we hug? do we not hug? I'm not hugging unless they lean in for it first." But now, I love hugs. I guess it just took me some time to get used to it since I didn't grow up in a "huggy-type" of family. What a lovely invention.

I think I’ve learned some lessons from their loss.  Further, that …

I felt extraordinarily loved, even though I’m sure the other wavers felt weird after the waving incident, largely because there was a large mirror by the door so they could all see each other’s mistaken wave. I wanted to hug them all and tell them, I've been there, when someone waves and you don’t know if it’s at you and you don’t know what to do...I've been there. I didn't hug them because I knew just having the thought was abnormal, let alone acting on it, but I resolved to go home and write out a few handy tips on how to cover up this awkward occurrence.

Here are my top 3 tips on how best to handle the awkward wave...

Become the designated waver - Become the type of person that waves at everyone constantly. Now if you are going to be the designated waver you should have fun exploring the art of waving. There are so …
