Today an older middle aged couple BOTH hugged me after I handed them the bill and they paid. Did I save their horse from a bad colic? Nope! Did I birth them a live foal? Put their old faithful horse to sleep? No and no. Although these are usually the type of appointments I get hugs for, these hugs were freebies. All I did was vaccinate their 8 horses.
I think 6 months ago, this would have creeped me out. But now I'm usually rushed, hot, and frustrated with a pinch of resentment-- so these hugs were well appreciated by me. It's just nice to feel like someone cares about me instead of always having to care about everyone else and their horses 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Two hugs from some nice hippies really do make a good day.
