Day 4: Hug a stranger

Haven't heard of the 30 Days of Kindness? Click here to find out more.
Just starting? That's okay! Feel free to start this challenge right
in the middle. You can make up the days you missed through November, if
you like.
Hug a stranger. I'm not going to be quite as strict with the rules today. Although it would be best if you hugged someone you had never met, I'll let you off if you hug someone that you don't know well. But when I say "someone you don't know well", I don't mean a casual friend. I mean someone you've spoken to maybe once or twice ever.
The reason for my lenience is because at times, you may not come across a good moment to hug a complete stranger off the street. Maybe the only few strangers you see today are on the phone, toting three kids, or driving in their car. Obviously not good candidates. So I'll broaden the spectrum for you. :)
When I'm upset, sometimes all I want is a big hug, no matter who it's from. Today, let's lighten someone's burden with a single hug.
I want to hear your stories! Leave me a comment and share what you did during today's challenge. If you have a picture already, feel free to send it to me. If you're blogging about today, send me the link and I'll feature it on this blog.
Stay tuned until later today to see what my friends and I did for today's act of kindness.
TOMORROW: Leave a dollar for someone to find!
