Good Evening Kye:

I read your delightful story.  I have been therapy baking for over 70 years.  For me baking is a multi sensory joy: smell, sight, touch - I especially like baking with yeast and detecting the change in the consistency of the dough as I knead it -, taste. But most of all it simply makes me happy to give others pleasure with something I made.  And in addition, I like seeing evidence having accomplished something that day.

Yes, bake for happiness, I say.

Thanks for your little essay. And as KAB puts it:  Happy Baking!

Dorothy Solé.
