Duing my ___ years on earth, there is one activity in life that seems to have positive effects during more challenging times.  Gardening!  I have the privilege of sharing the fruits of gardens with my grandmother, aunts and uncles, mother and father, and friends.  It is one of the most gratifying and challenging activities that bring about good health mentally, spiritually and physically.  What else does that for a human being?  It builds social capital and community in a very easy, natural progression.  It eases stress and probably blood pressure (but I am not a doctor) and can be very satisfying.  Sharing its fruits brings smiles and joy to others. Seriously, it keeps us in shape ( if we are smart about how we work into the activity early in the spring and how much we stress our muscles, etc.  Yes, you must learn how to move about the garden correctly and build muscle to keep your skeletal frame balanced in the activity - so see your physician and discuss what is correct for you prior to each spring activity)  But back to the results of gardening---it is the greatest community activity that can be done for free through sharing during tough times when we need the companionship and discussions that take us from our day's challenges.  Here are some great web sites to grow on!
