That's what got me interested in chickens. It is very therapeutic, and lets me know I'm accomplishing something. My kids love to do it with me, and it's physical. The heat really gets to me in the summer, heat aggravates MS pretty badly, so I get up really early in the summer to do outside things, nap in the afternoon, and do lots of water-related activities with my boys to try to stay cool. Really, trying to avoid the heat, in North Carolina, with 2 boys? My neuro Dr. is crazy if he thinks that is possible! My ex always complained and downed everything I did. He even dug up and killed lots of my plants just because he was in a bad mood, even threatened to kill my dog several times! Anyway, growing things and caring for living creatures is one of the best pick-me-ups I know of, and everyone should try it, even if it's just a few houseplants!
