Nature and Nurturing

 

Why does nature make us happy?Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones.

By smoking a good cigar which takes 45 - 50 minutes, it is my glue.
