Things for me now may not that fine but I tried my best to do not succumb on the ill effects of stress. Yesterday, I set aside my plans and I felt fine but when I feed myself about the things that I want to do this afternoon, it’s also the beginning of feeling drained. No! I don’t want to end up as loser so I disconnected myself of that thought instead; I take time to plant few pots of the plant in the photo. I think that was a good escape.

Thanks Ms. Anna. I should do that because if not, I can't imagine where I end up to.

I stayed at a guest house on Bohol Island and loved the lady's garden. She grew some plants in her garden that my mum had as house plants. The Philippines has a lovely climate for growing plants. Opposite the guest house I saw a palm grove. I think gardening is keeping busy in a positive way. Try to feel happy when you are doing your planting.

@ZedSmart When we took a taxi from the ferry port to the guest house I asked the taxi driver about a one day tour to see the tarsiers and visit the Chocolate Hills. So the next day a different taxi driver picked us up.He took us to the preservation park to see the tarsiers. Then he took us to the Chocolate Hills where I hired a jeep to drive past all the lovely Chocolate Hills. The taxi driver let me and my daughter climb steps to see the view of the Chocolate Hills. He took us to a butterfly park. Finally we visited a tropical beach. It was one of the best days of my life. Wow.

@maximax8 It's good to hear that you've enjoyed your stay there. I think there are plenty of attractions that are worthy to be visited and stayed with Ms. M. Have a great life ahead.

I hope you have a great stay there in Bohol. Have you visited the chocolate hills and see the tarsier in their preservation park? Yes, planting relieved those stress I think. Thanks you.

I wonder when could I ever start planting myself. Do you plant vegetables too?

Growing vegetables in pots is in my bucket list.

Why not if you have a space? No, I can only afford to plant at flower pots because of limited space but I would love to plant vegetable too.

Plants are so good for a person. They are beautiful, as yours are, they give us oxygen and working with plants can help keep stress away. I have many plants in my apartment and love working with them.

@ZedSmart I would have more plants if I had the room for them.

That is a beautiful plant. Be careful as that is a poisonous plant.

@ZedSmart So did that help with stress? Some times it is not easy to stay away from stressful things and to get exhausted because you are pushed very hard.

It helps because it diverts my attention to something realistic.

You are right. If only I have a big space at home, I would plant as many I can. I have this in my mind that I would cut out some PVC or perhaps bigger pet bottles and plant them with carrots. I just don't know if the space is enough for the crop.
