    Sending LOTS OF LOVE your way Susana!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HUGS ...

    "HUGGING is the IDEAL GIFT.

    GREAT for any occasion, FUN to give and receive, shows you care, comes with its own wrapping and, of course, is fully returnable.

    HUGGING is PRACTICALLY PERFECT.

    > No batteries to wear out,
    > inflation-proof,
    > nonfattening,
    > no monthly payments,
    > theft-proof
    > and NONTAXABLE."

    THROUGH YOUR EMBRACE YOU SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS, WITHOUT EVER SAYING ONE!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Richard
