Made me wish I'd brought one of our "Free Hugs" <a href="http://(http://www.wolfnowl.com/2010/06/marcias-meanderings-ladybugs-and-free-hugs/)" rel="nofollow">(http://www.wolfnowl.com/2010/06/marcias-meanderings-ladybugs-and-free-hugs/)</a> posters with me! As it was I didn't even have any Hug Certificates left in my backpack, but I gave her a link to this page and in return she gave me a card that said, "Smile. You Are Amazing!" Made my whole day, and so I wanted to say thanks! Mike.

We also received many more smiles. The most unique arrivals were the two guys who came across the harbour on their stand-up paddleboards, climbed the ladder to the walkway and ran over to get their hugs!! Our thanks to everyone who came by to share a hug, especially the young girl with the white and pink shirt who started it all...

We gave a Hug Certificate to one of the staff, and her coworker asked her where she had received it. It turns out her coworker, A., had received a Hug Certificate from a woman who had received it from a woman while on a bus in another city! We were both surprised and delighted to hear her story, and she was equally surprised to meet the people who had started this!! Hugs all around!!

One of the participants was on a unicycle, and wearing a 'Free Hugs' shirt. He got off occasionally to hug people in the crowd, so I chased him down the street, engaged in a body-slamming hug, and left him a 'Hug Certificate'! 'No Way!' he said. Made both of our days a little better! Victoria Day parade today. One of the participants was on a unicycle, and wearing a 'Free Hugs' shirt.

Marcia and I joined in the local parade that wound it's way from the provincial legislature through the downtown and over to city hall. Several people were handing out pamphlets and brochures to highlight attention to this or that cause (more on that here:<a href="http://www.wolfnowl.com/2010/04/he-says-she-says-21/)," rel="nofollow">http://www.wolfnowl.com/2010/04/he-says-she-says-...</a> so we decided to give out Hug Certificates as well! We gave out something like 50 or more in the space of an hour or two. One person kept coming back to get more! Gotta love it!! Hugs, Mike. Hi Folks: For Earth Day (every day is Earth Day!)

We got them in the mail from you guys a few months ago :) I think I gave two of them to friends, now I get unlimited hugs from them all.
