I believe I have a green thumb. Meaning I
am good at growing things, anything I plant will grow good. After I learned
marcotting method from my science teacher when I was in elementary, I
experimented what was taught through my neighbor’s plant. I was amazed of the
result. It worked. The roots began to scatter inside the plastic that covered
the branch. Since then, I learned to appreciate ornamental and flowering plants
and started planting bougainvillea, dancing lady, African daisy, among others
around our house.
When my plants have grown up and started
flowering, I realized how magnificent God is. He created beautiful flowers of
different sizes and forms. I barely see my plants now that I am away working in
Manila. When I am on vacation, only then that I get to take care of them. At
home, I have several pots of flowering plants that until now have been
flowering and well taken care of by my mother. When I see flowers, they give me
joy and happiness. They uplift my spirit and I become in love with nature.
Afterall, life’s simple pleasures are just around, guaranteed inexpensive and
sometimes free. You just have to learn to appreciate them.
