I had actually picked up a new hobby since I moved into this
new neighbourhood on 10 Jan 2010. I had
asked myself why? Why should I "waste" the
time that I could use for other pursuits?
My answer? Maybe I started
planting to follow the crowd, since my sister is doing it and since friends are doing it. Then slowly I
began to realize... gardening is therapeutic, it is relaxing, it improves my
mood, it gives me something to look forward to and most of all it gives me much
joy in seeing the plants grow and flower.
Everything that slows us down and forces patience,
everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help.
