Work can be play - it's all about attitude. And, of course, your work, while your hands may get dirty and your muscles get sore - you gain pleasure from the results and that... makes you happy. You exemplify the best of minimalism, living a simple life and practice being frugal - a basic formula for "living free and being happy” - my mantra for at least the last 15 years. You're proof the formula works.

So cool – I mean, so hot. Lol. I feel so bad for that poor aloe vera!

It is recovering nicely and plumping back up. I added some top soil and I am babying it. So dry here that it didn't seem to be holding the moisture I was giving it by watering.

I had a big aloe vera in a pot that was almost in that kind of shape, the ends were all shriveled up and brown. I googled and found out that if you cut the brown parts off, it will come back very nicely. So I did and it did!
