The garden Is now producing the fruits of my labor and we are having a great time! Socialization has increased by the meals my garden has brought to the table and delicious earthy flavors have danced on the tongues of many friends. Hard work has alchemized into laughs and joyful memories shared with loved ones. By applying practices to my daily life that I have learned through gardening I am more aware of my symptoms and can manage them better as well. S.A.D. does take a toll during the colder season but spending time in my garden reminds me to take the time to nurture myself for winter seasons to come. If S.A.D. during the wintertime is something that you have struggled with try to get your hands in some dirt. I know it's helped me, maybe it'll help you too! As they say “a little dirt never hurt”!
