Dear Anita

Thank you so much for your insightful advice. I find that the quarantine is great because it helps me de-stress and I love being out in nature. The thunderstorm cleared in the afternoon and left cloudy skies with cumulus clouds, slight breeze and a few rays of sunshine. So I was outside picking some small pebbles for my indoor flower pots and there was a bird sitting on the fence watching me. I decided to talk with the bird and ask him if those rocks that I was picking were good to use to line the indoor flower pots and the bird turned its head and chirped at me. It made me smile. Each time I grabbed some small pebbles and asked the bird whether those pebbles would work the bird would turn its head towards me and chirp and I found myself laughing. I told the bird that I would show them the flowers when they started growing and the bird chirped and I went inside to grab a flower plant and the bird was sitting on the fence as if waiting to see the flowers. I showed the bird the flower buds and told the bird that the flowers were just starting to bloom and that I would show the bird again when they bloomed completely. The bird turned its head and I think that the bird looked at the new flower sprouts and chirped. I brought the flower plant back inside and I went back out and I told the bird thank you for brightening my day and the bird chirped and then after a while flew into the nearby trees. I love birds and Animals are amazing and very insightful when you talk to them, they always seem to brighten your days.

Also my mint plant on my windowsill has been growing well and here’s some positivity I learned from watching the plant grow. Nature is a true inspiration.

After some days of sunlight, the mint plant’s leaves are starting to become more vibrant green and the plant is shooting up towards the sun’s rays. Before there wasn’t much sunlight and the mint plant’s leaves were a dark green and it was spread out more horizontally so that the sun’s rays would fall directly into the center of the plant and the plant could soak up the small amount of sunlight that it could. Now that these days there has been more sunlight, the mint plant is growing taller and has vertical growth. It’s so cool how nature seems to be so inspirational. People are like plants, they need to keep hope that the sunlight will shine bright again even if the days seem gray, and like the mint plant when there’s little sunlight breaking through the clouds, people may feel less tall and slower progress but they should know that brighter days are ahead because the mint plant decided to keep hope for brighter days and now these days there has been more sunlight so the mint plant can grow tall, so people should also be hopeful that brighter days are ahead even when clouds limit the sunshine because although progress may be slow at times, keeping hope there will be positivity to help you grow tall. Hope this was inspirational.
