I really did not know that humans could take catnip. It sounds like it might be worth looking into.

I don't know if it will be at my local health food store. I am not sure what the same for it is in Spanish - will have to look that up.

I assume it will not make me start climbing trees. I think I am a bit past climbing trees - lol

It makes total sense to me because my daughter is on large doses of Holy Basil for anxiety and so far it seems to be working! Whenever I can, I like to try the natural products first, especially since medications can surprise you with horrible side affects....

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
