What's your drug?

There is something for each of us. For too many it's synthesized chemicals that don't do us any good in the end. But for others it's work, or photography, or a hike, or chasing total solar eclipses, or climbing mountains. For some it's seeing the first flowers of spring push up through the soil even though there's still remnants of snow on the ground.

For me, as I ask this question of you, I realize mine is work; and that made me both a little sad that it's so consuming in my life and ultimately not so fulfilling. But, it's better than a chemical alternative
