I also experience physical and emotional healing in the garden. Before I had my young daughter, I was studying horticultural therapy. My goal with that was to help women heal from physical and sexual abuse by teaching them to grow vegetables. The garden can teach people how to "ground" anger and channel hard feelings in a productive way. I find it therapeutic to rip out spent plants sometimes. I appreciate the reminders to rest and allow my spirit to be fallow. Anyway, I relate. You’ve put this very well. I also experience physical and emotional healing in the garden.

I have always felt that time spent in the garden is the only real way I can center myself. Digging in the dirt has been my therapy as well. I'm glad you got to enjoy a sunny day in January. After a week of rain, the sun here today feels extra nice. I’m glad that you have found gardening’s healing powers.
