Happiness doubled by wonder

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought;
and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

~G.K. Chesterton

Gratitude is …

Gratitude is the memory of the heart.
~Jean Baptiste Massieu, translated from French

If the only prayer ….

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice.  ~Meister Eckhart

Free Hugs


The Free Hugs Campaign is a social movement involving individuals who offer hugs to strangers in public places.[1]

The campaign in its present form was started in 2004 by an Australian man known only by the pseudonym “Juan Mann”.[2] The campaign became famous internationally in 2006 as the result of a music video on YouTube by the Australian band Sick Puppies, which is one of the most popular on the site, having been viewed almost 60,000,000 times. The hugs are meant to be random acts of kindness – selfless acts performed just to make others feel better.

International Free Hugs Day is celebrated on the first Saturday of July.
