Did you know that the skin is the largest organ of the body? And in a world where we have been physically deprived of not only seeing each other, but touching each other as well, our bodies have taken a toll. Sadly, we have gotten used to not touching each other. Even before covid came into our lives, I had learned this information and went on a hugging the nation rampage. They say a good hug is 20 seconds long, where you can feel the hearts beating in harmony. And the best thing about giving a hug is that you get one in return. There was a study done in the 1940's that showed how 25 infants were changed and fed, but never given any love or affection. All of them died. All of them. So basically I'm trying to tell you that the cost of not loving nor having physical touch does in fact cost you your life. Find yourself giving love this holiday season. You just might save your life or twelve others...
