Today, a cold from hell was placed in me, as for what woke me up was a morning cough powerful enough to practically launch me off my mattress. Naturally, I was forced to stay home, bundle up, and recover with the help of menthol drops and cough syrup. Even though I'm a viable candidate for a doctor's note, I couldn't help but feel guilty for skipping Mass. Oh, and having to make do with indoor shots for today's photo wasn't great.
Nonetheless, I was so tapped into today's failures, that I've dismissed to practice what I preach. For context, there's a three-foot-tall Sansevieria that sits on top of a dresser that's placed in front of my bed. The problem was that one of the leaves turned limp with a visible brown shade, and the rest of them appeared to have a sand-like hue that only ended up spreading throughout the week. In response, I panicked and went online to buy anything that could've helped me save Larry Lengua. While each of the tools of plant care were being delivered to me, my efforts gave no results until the day my last order came in; a moisture meter.
As it turns out, I've been waterboarding Larry this whole time! However, I'm glad to report his leaves are teaming green after a weekend spent in sunlight. Living things benefit from taking time to recharge, and perhaps I ought to understand that. Life can certainly become overwhelming with all of our commitments, so a day where we do nothing is productive in its own right.
Blessed is the one... whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.
