2. Have to have a regular dose of outdoors

It is the best medicine.

Springing wildflowers, fireflies, bumble bees. New green leaves, finally. Warm blue skies with the foreground of green trees is a welcoming and fulfilling sight for these sore, winter weary eyes.

In wilderness is the preservation of the world, said some old time bard. I forget who, but he was dead on. Being where there are but natural voices and natural earth sights, is like taking a drug, that without, we whither away.

The old bones don't want to follow around so much anymore, but upon forcing them they eventually come to see the wisdom of the travel. But are happiest when they do get back to relax, and at that time the mind is in a far better mood, and all is well again.

I shall miss most the sauntering, when I am done.
