Growing more than plants during this the pandemic year of my life

\

It has nearly been a year since the lockdown. Time has passed by with moments filled with one chat mate having nearly 5 thousand messages. I was taken aback. Then, the days are filled with gardening and the nights include observing how cuttings grow. 

Only during the crisis did I ever pay attention to our yucca plants. And, a lot of changes have happened in the year past, like my grandchildren moving out, and I feel a lot older, sometimes sadder, at times, happier. But, the ever-present danger of contracting the virus bears heavily on my mind. 

As today I venture back into writing, it is the right thing to do. Gardening does have benefits and makes me earn, and so does cooking and baking, but writing does hurt my arm. As I looked for writing samples, I stumbled upon a completed e-book of mine, and a few more, well a lot more articles and ebooks that are tucked away in my yahoo mail. 

Growing plants is not an overnight thing and nor is writing. I have neglected my blog, seldom posting my thoughts as sometimes it affects people adversely. But, it is writing... just thoughts, emotions, feelings, all in words to weave the pattern.. 

Here I go again drifting. Today started off with worries, as usual. It is not very easy on me but I am trying. God provides yet, I do have to go back to writing as I cannot burden others, and even if I will use a brace again, during this pandemic mess, life leaves us limited choices. 

Today I was given plants and overwhelmingly wonderful ones. Gardening is one thing I like doing, and yes, will continue... writing is one thing I love and it is what I am, aside from the many hats that I wear, on various occasions. Woke up at dawn. Had a long nap, and now, it is back to the drudgery of creating web content which is vital in today's world, which is mostly online.
