For hallway group hugs. The last member of the family strolls in late in the evening after class, one by one we meet up in the hallway where a long group hug turns into catching-up about our day: work, school, health, and upcoming plans. Some goofying around later, the gathering breaks up and we’re off to do whatever’s next. But the moment has charged our family battery.
We feel fortunate that our (adult) kids are still home, even if they don’t always feel about that the way we do. Well, except Danny, he feels way too comfy, I think we’ll have to kick him out eventually. ? Truth is, our time together at home dwindles with the seasons and their uncooperative schedules. So these sporadic instances are what we treasure the most now. Even if they happen late at night and in the middle of the hallway. Because life isn’t perfect, but it sure does have its perfect moments. And for that, Lord, I am thankful.
Family and friends, please take advantage of your moments with each other, with your pet, with your friend, whenever and wherever. Life is fragile, hug tight, hug long.
What are you thankful for today?
I dedicate today’s post to the children whose lives so brutally ended in last Tuesday’s chemical bombing in Syria. May God hold them tight now.

Priceless moments…someday our adult kids will realize how important these moments are.
That’s so true! I love the time of “aprietaperros”! It’s the best battery charger. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful, thanks for sharing it! It’s amazing what a hug can accomplish when we need it most. We share bear hugs just because ?, good morning hugs and kisses to begin our day and the always kiss me goodnight? to end the day. For the beginning of a new day and for safely ending each day together. For all of these blessings we are thankful Lord! ?
