I used to love to garden. It would consume me and I would find myself at work thinking about my plants, designing new flower beds, planning trips to the garden center, etc. I would read books on plants, permiculture, and I would spend hours on gardening websites trying to identify plants that I saw in other people's yards and on my walks in the woods. Then everything fell apart. For the past six months my life has been completely numb. I haven't had any interest in any of my old hobbies. I have even thought about just letting my garden and yard die off so that I wouldn't have to worry about it.
A couple of days ago, a coworker and I went to the Arbor Gate at lunch and I was actually interested in plants again! I started thinking about putting in a raised flower bed in the backyard and even planting more elaeagnus bushes along my back wall. My interests are finally returning! They aren't as potent as they used to be, but at least they are returning!
