Today is February 18th, 2022 and I am currently chronicling as many positive events as I can recall, The event I decided to start with will be those involving nature. It is my intention to allow this venture to aid in my healing from many past traumas. Prior to this point, I have been writing these memories in a journal. I have also used notebooks. The trouble with these methods is that journals get misplaced and notebooks seem too impersonal.
Since, I have rightly written down many of the traumatic things inflicted on me in my past, I want to rejuvenate as much as possible in bringing to mind the healing power of nature. On Wednesday, of this week, following a physical therapy appointment I went for a massage, The massage location I selected is in the same mall as the therapist. Wednesday was my second visit to this particular massage parlor and the experience was not as rewarding as my first. In the same area there is another massage parlor which also offers: facials, manicures, pedicures, and has a much more impressive facade. I had passed this parlor up reasoning that it would be much more expensive than the one previously chosen. Yet because I was displeased with the received massage, I decided to inquire about the prices of the second place.
The second location had much more room and staff. The person who approached me spoke little English but he did get his point across. Since I had just received a massage, I only wanted a price he stated that the person who gives the massages would tell me, I told him that I would return next week and left the parlor. Leaving there, I went for coffee and when returning to the place where I would be picked up by the ride service I used, again I passed the day spa and on the second trip I took notice of some Aloe Vera plants seated near the spa"s interior window. I entered the spa for the second time and asked if I could take a picture of the plants. Smiling widely, one of the technicians said a friendly, "yes." As I used my iPhone to take a few photos of the plants another technician came up and started a conversation about the plants. She like the gentlemen who had greeted me earlier, the ladies English was challenging to understand.
Well, I took a few photos of the Aloe Vera plants and realized as I compared the photos to the Aloe Vera plant that I had at home that I had captured part of the Wednesday February 16th, 2022 forever. The interactions between myself the staff at the spa and the prickly plants were now apart of my focused positive memories.
