Day 17- Delight in the Miracle of Touch

Take this one how you please my dear friends! When I read this chapter, I realize that the physical part of touch is so important in so many ways. Holding your baby for the first time, interlacing hands with your partner, a much needed back rub, tickling your babies toes, slipping into a hot bath, feeling your baby move inside of you during pregnancy, braiding your daughter's hair. We all know what these miracle touches feel like. Emotional touch is something that goes beyond the physical touch, both of which are so important in our lives. Random acts of kindness, an unexpected card in the mail, plugging someone's meter, having an in depth conversation with someone you love to express how you feel about them, emailing someone to let them know you are thinking of them, praying for someone who doesn't know it..... Touching people (in whatever way you choose) in our lives is what we should all strive for. To love, appreciate, and honor the people that we have met along our journey.
