Of plants and hope

A few months ago, I received a beautiful plant as a party favor for a wedding I had attended. For some reason though, even though I watered it adequately, it started to wilt away. Distressed, I tried to figure out what I could do to save it, and asked around but to no avail. The downward spiral seemed inevitable.

Within a month as the last withering leaves were about to go, I got inspired and wiki-howd the process of transplanting a succulent leaf. It took some time and effort to figure out what was needed, and I’ve had some sleepless (metaphorically speaking) nights about whether it would work.

But guess what – there are a few roots taking hold! I’m sure it will take a while for this to regain its full form, but given time and a regular dose of transplantation fluid, I hope it will. With plants and I’m sure as with everything else, there’s just no point losing hope. Right? There’s almost nothing that can’t be fixed, given time and a little bit of effort.
