April: Adopt The Pace of Nature

Her secret isn't 75HARD, aiming for 20,000 steps a day, nor becoming "unrecognizable"

Something about greenery is that it cannot be hounded to do what you want it to do.

This is something I remind myself, as I lean over the yellowed leaf of the green and white pothos plant that sits on the counter by my kitchen window. It has suddenly had a strand of leaves go yellow and crisp in the past few days, like the streak of gray that runs through my own hair. There does not seem to be a reason, other than that something is not quite as it should be for this plant (not my gray hair, thank you).

I first noticed this yellowed branch a few days ago, and promptly watered the plant, fed it a nutrient mix, and placed it in a more obviously—though not TOO obvious—sunny place. That was Friday, and now it’s Tuesday, and I cannot tell if the yellow is getting better or worse.
