Fruit bearing!

The vegetables garden that Anna gives special attention to, is now with fresh yield of ladies finger and string beans. The summer heat does not seem to affect them!

The resilience factor is evident in such situations. 

To thrive in a hostile situation is a life skill!

I visit the vegetable garden regularly to receive this message of overcoming difficulties and living above the circumstances. The rich green colour in summer is an unusual sight in our vegetable garden! 

I feel encouraged by this sight because there is an inner reserve of endurance that we can draw from when we walk through valley experiences. 

I feel that the climate of hostility is real!

But the spirit of resilience provides staying skills!

Flowers from our garden!

I feel amazed how these flowers survive in a temperature of 34 degree celsius and still share its colour, freshness and fragrance!

It is resilience in its best form!

Sighting these unusual features of fragile flowers, I turned inward to ponder on my ability to cope with adverse situations!

I have had instances in the recent times when, giving up was easier or more comfortable than staying on!

To be able to outlive pressures and hostile situations is indeed a position that one arrives at, over a long period of time by finding strength from facing up to smaller challenges or adverse situations!

I want to be on that journey!
