I moved, got a patch of sky, a small garden and started growing all the plants I wish I did.
Becoming a plant mom has been so healing and rewarding.. Sometimes plants die and dry up, others flourish and teach you what they need, others get attacked by pests and you have to look for solutions... All this activity is so healing ( for me).
Being able to take minutes/hours tending to my garden and potted plants, especially on weekends, has taught me mindfulness.
I'm so used to having my thoughts racing day in day out as I type and stare at screens all day.
Having a hobby that makes me chill is so good for my soul.
