Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

NATIONAL HUG DAY

National Hug Day or National Hugging Day: January 21

When our men and women of the military are deployed overseas, they must leave everything behind: home, family, friends, loved ones, even pets. It is a sad, sad day of departure completely filled with emotional hugs. Then, on the other hand, it is the happiest of days upon returning home, which is equally emotional. 

What better time to hug a member of our military than on National Hugging Day! According to Wikipedia, "National Hug Day or National Hugging Day is an annual holiday created by Rev. Kevin Zaborney. It occurs on January 21 and is officially recognized by the United States Copyright Office, but is not a public holiday."  

This day is supportive of giving a hug to anyone, anywhere, any time of the day of night. It is a means of showing emotion and is acceptable in public!

In commemoration of this national day and a tribute to our military, Awakenings is sharing inspiration that comes courtesy of
