and the outdoors much? How about pets? Are you a vet by chance?

Where I am it's gorgeous with all trees and blossoms in full spring splendor which helps cushion the scary reality of you know what. And getting out, some exercise is great for body and mind as we know.

Music which I love is supposed to increase pleasant brain chems like dopamine and I believe it.

Any kind of art or creative activity is always beneficial for well being, even for folks that don't excel--woodworking, cooking, photography, gardening and much more.

I had 2 dogs but am currently petless and may adopt.
