Maybe this is why it makes me happy

Even when I was ten, gardening made me really happy. I may not have known why then, but maybe it was more than just a quirk of personality. Maybe it's science. That's right -- the only antidepressant that's hard to clean out from under your fingernails.

fThat's probably why a hike in the park makes me feel so much better than any workout in the gym ever did! No wonder I'm addicted to gardening and being outdoors in general.

The "outside" of the world is good for the "inside" of man. I think there is real value in being in a more natural environment on a regular basis. If nothing else, it puts things in perspective and clears the cobwebs from the brain.
