I’ve been struggling to find peace and happiness in the normal of my days. Might be depression again, but I think (hope) there’s just too much for me to process right now. I spent my time either distracting myself with scrolling, reading, or working extremely focused on a single project.
But with the photo book done, being too tired to concentrate on books or websites, and a shoulder injury making it impossible to work on bigger chores in the garden or the house, I found myself wandering around my home, trying to find something to do.
And then I noticed my houseplants were looking neglected. And that’s because they were. I had watered them a few times since we returned, but not regularly and surely not with intent and a bit of love. And I truly do believe that’s what they thrive on.
So I started to give them some attention. Dusted the leaves, cut off dead leaves and stems and gave them a generous amount of water. And with each plant looking so much better, I felt my spirit lifting a bit.
I’m not going to pretend that miraculously all is well with the world now. But I do feel better.
And so do my plants…
hope your shoulder feels better soon!!
Thank you! It is a bit better now.
