Proof positive


That this plant is alive is a miracle.  I would not say it is thriving (only a single strand).  But it looks pretty well.  The color robust, the feel close to succulent.

This is the first plant that has survived my black thumbs...ever.  I have killed cacti.  I have raised this plant since it came to me in the form of a snippet.  It was tiny.  A baby.

On a morning like this, post-insomnia (first night off the "relaxing" herbs in an effort to clear out a cough that has become persistent), tricky time of the month...foul mood, second-guessing myself, tired...

on a morning like this, catching a glimpse of this plant, my plant, made me feel a little better.  (Talking to Kelly did, too.  Thanks, babe.)  A simple reminder that miracles happen.

Peace.
