Warum sind Umarmungen
so schön?

Weil die rechte Seite von dir kein Herz hat.
Sie ist leer.
Und wenn dich jemand umarmt,
hast du ein Herz auf beiden Seiten.

...und weil Umarmungen trösten, helfen, Zuversicht schenken, wärmen, einfach gut tun und einem manchmal sogar Flügel wachsen lassen.
Danke für jede Umarmung heute! ☺️

Habt einen schönen Abend, ihr Lieben, 🧡
wo immer auf dieser Welt ihr gerade seid,
und später eine behütete Nacht mit wundervollen Träumen! ✨

Es gibt diese Tage,
an denen die Sonne nicht richtig wärmt,
diese Tage,
die einen erden, ob man will oder nicht,
diese Tage,
an denen einem das Leben eine lange Nase zeigt.
Für mich ist heute so ein Tag,
und ein kurz mal in den Arm nehmen,
wer weiß,
vielleicht wird er dann leichter...

Von Herzen wünsche ich euch, ihr Lieben, 🧡
dass zumindest ihr heute einen wunderbaren Tag habt!
Lasst euch von nichts und niemandem ärgern! ☀️

Ructions at Casa Wen

My partner, talented, personable, accomplished has one wee flaw. The spatial awareness of a blind heffalump. So today we had to negotiate a sofa destined for homebasics.org.uk. It was big and as many will know, a certain finesse is required. And she wanted to direct ops. Of course I would never assume I was doing that 😂. Compromised. After 30 minutes I did it. Even the dug didn’t get involved when he heard the ruckus.

But at least it’s out.

Local resident Jibber Prevalia exclaims, “hugs are for sissies,” after witnessing a father hugging his son. When asked to elaborate on the matter, Mr. Prevalia went on to say, “behavior like that is what’s making our young men weak. I miss the good old days, where the only hugging that place was a firm, two-handed grip on a man’s shoulder before he was shoved into a lake to learn how to swim—or into a job to learn how to work.

Mr. Prevalia, a self-proclaimed expert in “real toughness,” lamented the erosion of traditional values, recalling a childhood where affection was best expressed through a respectful nod, a stiff handshake, or a well-timed punch to the arm.

“When I was a boy,” he continued, adjusting his belt with unnecessary aggression, “my father never hugged me. Instead, he’d tell me, ‘Son, the world’s a cold place, and the only warmth you’ll ever feel is from the fire you start yourself—or from the friction of your calloused hands.’ And look at me now! Perfectly well-adjusted.”

When asked if he had any children of his own, Mr. Prevalia scoffed. “Of course not. But if I did, I’d raise ‘em right—with discipline, grit, and absolutely zero unnecessary body contact. Maybe a firm pat on the back if they cured polio or something.”

At press time, Mr. Prevalia was seen attempting to suppress a single tear after a particularly moving insurance commercial featuring a dog reunited with its owner.
