Hello, lemon world!
Here I share my lemon-flavored memory.
You reap what you sow.
I OBSERVE. Observing these lemons on a saucer, I tell you about a memory that comes to mind.
When I visited one of my uncles, I noticed a rather large lemon tree in his house. It grew in a rather unusual place, but it looked very well positioned. Family gatherings always took place in the shade of that tree. From there, I would sit and observe, simply observing everyone who arrived. Sometimes I observed sadness, sometimes desolation, and many times I observed couples who were upset but smiling in the middle of the gathering. Of course, I'm not a psychologist, but I do enjoy observing people.

I THINK. As I watched, I THOUGHT. I thought about all the stories behind those faces and those visits. This went on for a long time. We really enjoyed that tree; it produced very good lemons, large, colorful, and very juicy. And besides that, I liked to think about how many people visited my uncle and how much he was loved. He was so kind, sharing everything he harvested at home. Well, he still is, but now the lemon tree is gone. It dried up...

I WRITE. Here is the complementary story of the lemon tree. Yes, my uncle was very kind, but he was always very careful with his lemon tree. He gave it away, and if you asked him, he would give it to you, but not during the hottest hours of the day, in extreme sun, or during your period, because he wasn't afraid to say no and ask you to come back another time.

P.S.: It bothered me a lot that people ignored his instructions, because I know what planting and caring for a crop entails, and how much effort a person puts into keeping their harvest lush and abundant. However, that didn't matter, and they still went and picked the lemons while he was working. I don't know what the sun or the menstrual period has to do with it, but old people have their ways, and the truth is that this is how the beloved lemon tree began to dry up.
That's why I say, if life gives you lemons, share them, but don't let them dry you up.
