Baking can make you happy?

I had forgotten how soothing baking can be for me. Today even though I did not want to make homemade bread, I did because I promised my husband I would for him. I was pretty complacent before I started, then halfway through the mixing process I found myself actually humming! I was amazed to remember I much I enjoyed baking. I also did not realize how depression can zap all of the love for life right out of you. I also forgot how amazing bread smells when it is baking and how much I love it. So as an experiment, the next time I find myself feeling particular down, I am going to bake something and see if it helps me again. That is, if I can muster the motivation to get off the couch...
