Life can sometimes become so busy that we forget to take joy in the moment. Thomas Rainer masterfully illustrates the moments of contentment and achievement he finds in his garden with this blog post.

In the post, he talks about the sense of self he pulls from the plants he’d nurtured over the past two years, and a comforting sense of control.
