Back from the dead

Awhile back I bragged about the fact that I found the perfect plant for my cute new seashell planter.  Having black thumbs, I knew there was a chance that my little plant wouldn’t survive very long.  Making matters worse, the plant lives in the guest bedroom, so it’s easy to forget about watering it.

I was in the guest bedroom last night wrapping gifts when I saw something reflecting in the mirror that caught my eye…

I knew it was only a matter of time.  After all, it had survived a whole three months.  Three months to the date, in fact!  Considering that this is the one plant we have in our house and I could barely keep it alive for one quarter of the year, I thought about giving up.

But, I rallied and gave the plant some water that it sorely needed.  About an hour later, signs of hope were starting to show…

I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best in the morning.  When I peeked in this morning, I was truly shocked at my revival skills.  There it was, looking strong as ever!

Okay, maybe not as strong as ever, but it certainly has a heartbeat again.  It’s a Christmas miracle, don’t you think?
