Oxytocin
I had a great visit at Moira and Dan's over the weekend, and when I was reading her Prevention magazine I came across a great bit of information:
"Scientists have shown that when we're around loved ones, we release a chemical called oxytocin that promotes feelings of calm and well-being."
I agree! Now I know why I gain such strength and encouragement and peace when I am in the presence of those I love and who love me! I have felt that my whole life, and especially the past year.
I'm thankful that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made". Psalm 139:14
