You are working hard. 5 days a weeks.8 hours a day. And you feel depressed ! Especially in this economic down hill. So what to do to escape ?

Some people may suggest you to take vacation. Going out off town with family. Some would say : “That is expensive. You have to pay the gas to get there. It also would take more afford to consolidate your other family members to get ready and jump on the car.”

But to get off from this fatigue,boredom and tiredness ? How to escape without spending too much money and time ? how to be so fresh on every Monday morning , when the tedious life start to run again and again ?

Simple suggestion. Gardening.  It would help you to recover quickly.

“But i don’t have big backyard. How can i do it ?”

You don’t have to have a big backyard to do gardening. You can start from a small pot. You can get it from KMART or other general supermarket at competitive prices. Then you need compos and seeds. Flower seeds would be enough. Or even you could get a ready to plant flowers from some gardening shops.

Gardening may make your hand a bit dirty (unless you put your gloves on), but it would give you a small escape from your daily routines. You also could involve your kids or partner to do it.  First time you do it, you would make a lot of mess. But soon after couple times practice you would see it very easy and enjoyfull. Especially when the plants you grew start growing and produce blossoming flowers or fruits.
