Friday. What a rough week.

Last night I went to dinner with Brandy, one of my local EndoSisters and one hellava Warrior. It was wonderful.

And after a few hours of talking, catching up, dumping out our hearts, and encouraging one another, we left after several hugs.

So, today’s quote:

“Some moments can only be cured with a big squishy grandma hug.” 

― Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing

They say laughter is the best medicine, but it’s not. Not for me. Hugs truly are. Good, long, warm, 100% legit hugs. Maybe that’s why I love Burning Man so much: endless, amazing hugs from so many strangers. Unencumbered, uninhibited, pure loving hugs.

And the long talk last night really made me feel better about so many things, too.
