Switching from one moment that's personal to official stuffs is really one talent I haven't quite mastered but it looks like you're already a pro at that.
I love gardening too but can't make one in a rented apartment but will definitely do something like that in the future with my favorite & beneficial plants.
I'd not say I'm a pro, I just do it more often than not do it. I guess I don't see any point to only being partially present in my life so I focus on being all there, in each moment.
I hope you get to do some gardening in the future, I think you understand how valuable that time is for a human, being close to nature and all.
