Indoor Gardening

When something happens to upset you and you are discouraged, try to feel that life's difficulties and troubles are not intended to arrest your progress in the spiritual life, but to test your strength and to increase your determination to keep going.

Yesterday I spent about an hour watering all of the plants we have growing in the house. Melva brought all of the potted plants back inside a couple of weeks ago. Because the furnace is running and the air is dry it's very easy for the plants to wilt if we don't watch them closely.

Yesterday, after I picked up Cyndi at the College Park subway station, we went to shop at the new BJ's which opened in Capitol Heights this weekend. BJ's is a membership store, similar to Costco and Sam's Club. There was a nice crowd and lots of shoppers. The store is just inside of the Beltway and about seven miles from our house. We stocked up on some needed items and some not-so needed items.
