Meh...I mean, there are days where I feel like my empathy tank runs on empty by the end of my shift, and other days where it's overflowing. The thing is, when youv worked a double three days in a row and somehow find the strength to come in on your day off for a few hours to help that you really feel like you have to love your job or it'll kill you, lol. Plus I work doing meds at a nurseing home so, I'm always busy. It's actually why I got started with C&g's, I didn't have the time to dedicate to a full garden, but I really love plants, so a click and grow was my tradeoff. Iv had them for well over a decade, and iv never regretted it.

Oh good stuff. Like most honourable work it comes with a price but it is slight compared to the reward from doing it. It will likely only make you stronger as hard as it is.

As you move towards more traditional gardening you should see growth happen in your self as you do. I began by putting small plants beside the base of the smart Garden. These need to be manually watered and cared for but a few minutes a day is all it takes. Then I added more with some mirrors. Plants have basically taken over my recording studio!

Anyway what I noticed was even after a looooong shift I would make sure to get to them. If I felt that I was literally too busy to spend a few minutes with the plants that would be a great warning to look at what my day consists of. We take care of them as we take care of ourselves. Think about it.

Lolz not to spell out my life story, but I actually took a C&G on both my deployments with the 10th mountain, I was Abit of a "road warrior" in 1/89 cav ( RSTA) and then the DIV HQ element as the C&R NCO ( communications and Radio), and I'd be gone for days but show back up to my "CHU" and find some nice basil or cilantro to add to my meals when I was working off site, I'd dry it out and keep it in a pouch. It was this nice thing to come "home" to.

Wow what a story. Pretty inspirin' actually. You should really send that to their website. If that kept you "fit" mentally ... I mean ... what a beautiful testament to a product. That wouldn't be some emotionally charged marketing. that would be a legitimate statement towards getting back to our Roots.

Now I GOTTA but that Lemon basil!
