a well told tale, 112233, I liked it.
I think using the medicines when your not in a happy, shiny, bunny stroking mood is a good thing to do, what use is medicine if you only use it when your well? I think a lot can be gained from communing with the plants at times of sadness, probably more than when your in bunny stoking mode.
these things happen to us all and I hope you can start feeling happier soon.
