My mom is a very common retired housewife, she did not think so answer to:
"Because to transfer ah!"
As soon as that term came out, I started to get shocked because it felt like her next answer might be a classic.
I hurriedly asked again, "Shift what?"
She blurted out, " To divert my love! I have no outlet for my love, so I transfer my love to flowers and plants!"
My eyes widened! It turns out that my sensitive heart really might be inherited from my mother.
I hurriedly reflected on myself!
My mother expressed her true feelings very frankly and unobtrusively, and I reflected on myself: did I usually give her too little love, or communicate with her too little, so that she transferred her surging inner emotions to other living objects?
In fact, it is similar to keeping pets and giving your love to these living things.
The person who has love in his/her heart needs a container to receive his/her love: some people choose cats and dogs, some choose fish and birds, some choose flowers and plants.
For example, when a person is old, he/she loves to be quiet and does not like to move a lot, but he/she also needs a container to hold the overflowing love, so, raising flowers and planting vegetables is a very natural choice.
Now that I think about it, my mom was really an emotional person. The flowers and plants on the balcony are all oily and full of life.
Doesn't it also symbolize her own full of life?
Psychology I do not understand, look at some of the neighbors home flower box shelf many have planted.
I personally feel that planting is to slow down the mood, do not rush for the elderly to slow and steady psychology.
I now have only two boxes of aloe vera counting flowers, annual flowering, a pot of hanging orchids counting grass, downstairs has been a piece. I planted a few years mimosa, toxic not planted. Lotus planted two years bloomed, then died. Geranium bloomed two years dead, also toxic. Orchid buried downstairs this year, three months to grow roots. Dragon fruit five or six years did not bloom this year do not want to send downstairs. Year after year planting loofah flowers fall harvest some loofah tendons wash dishes. Daylilies bloomed thirty-two days this year. The cypress tree did not bloom and bear seeds. More than a dozen peach blossom old bloomed five or six years, loquat three years of fruit ripe by the birds ate. Mulberry tree only a plant knot dozens of soybean-sized mulberry, was also eaten by birds. There are more than a dozen ginkgo trees, the first one has ten years, the rest is last year's seedling this year. The daffodils and Chinese stone garlic have been planted for more than ten years and bloomed for more than ten years. The honeysuckle was planted in '04 and has only been blooming for seven or eight years. Soursop, mint and honeysuckle grow year after year. Most of the plants are downstairs, on the thirty square meter strip of terrace that the green team is not responsible for. I got a step ladder going up.
It is not that people like to plant flowers when they get old, there are those who are born to love plants, including flowers and grasses, cultivation, hobby of the good life, but also like nature, only they are your loyal audience, your friends, they will not betray you. Life must be interesting.
People who like to raise flowers are like nature, I'm like this, to see their own flowers bloom that mood is too beautiful!
It is true that many people like to grow flowers and vegetables when they are old. There are many reasons:
First, planting flowers can cultivate sentiment, life is colorful, pleasing to the eye, the fragrance of the flowers make a person's ears and eyes, bring people spiritual happiness and health.
Second, planting vegetables can not only eat organic vegetables, reduce the cost of living. At the same time, it is more important to bring people spiritual pleasure, there is a sense of fulfillment that is very happy to have a harvest.
Third, planting flowers and vegetables can make one's heart as quiet as water, people need this kind of calm when they are old, very nourishing.
Fourth, some old people planting flowers and vegetables to meet the needs of children, children eat assured that the elderly heart solid. It is also a kind of happiness.
Fifth, to avoid loneliness, looking at the seedlings hair ah, grow up, blossom, results. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
Sixth, planting flowers and vegetables can make people more elegant, more love for life, more longing for the future.
Not only old age, I now like to plant flowers. It is no exaggeration to say that growing flowers is a form of psychological self-healing.
Growing flowers allows one to focus, to see one's value, to know that one is capable of taking care of others, and to see wonderful results very quickly.
And as older people more or less feel lonely, growing flowers and plants can be nurturing and make one love life more.
is retired all right, find yourself something to do, some people love to play cards, some people love to square dance, some people love to go to the park, some people love to get together with parents, some people love to go shopping, some people love to learn love to read books, some people love to plant vegetables and raise flowers flowers, some people love to do handicrafts, a lot of a lot of ...... different hobbies of different personalities are also different. Some people can stay at home, some people stay at home, I belong to a more residential, every day to clean up the vegetable garden, raise flowers and plants, do do cloth, basic not go out, living supplies online shopping, travel and hot and tired and more people do not go, every day life is very relaxing, no work pressure at work, very good! I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get the best out of me.
People like to raise flowers and vegetables in old age, I think it is to keep themselves busy, as long as they are busy, they will not want to upset things, in addition, to see flowers and plants, colorful, fresh air, the mood will be pleasant, in addition, through their own labor, the environment has changed for the better, to eat their own planted vegetables, healthy and pollution-free, showing that they are not old, and can still eat their own, the heart is certainly very satisfied, there are The first thing I want to do is to make sure that I have a sense of fulfillment.
The above is my psychological analysis of the elderly like to raise flowers and vegetables, the viewpoint is not mature I hope you more guidance.
My father is ninety-three years old, on crutches, walking path shaky, very very hard. However, the diligent old father, even if they can not walk the road, crawling, but also in the yard planting vegetables. He believed in the blessing of work, the crops must work, otherwise. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty!
Why do I have tears in my eyes, because I love this land y! Father will not say what axiomatic, but, father is a crop out of the ground, will be happy to do some work with the land to deal with the work. Watching the crops, vegetables grow day by day, the heart unlimited joy ah! A person who does good deeds is like a seedling in the spring, which grows day by day without being seen to increase. Planting the land gave my father hope. The power of life, he felt, the power of seeds. The seed of the melon, planting beans, this is, in fact, the father's simple philosophy of life.
I think this is also the reason why many rural people, happy to plant vegetables, planting crops! Bless them, all the hard-working people
Preferences and age has nothing to do with, only the age of time affluent point, when I was young, I also like to spend can be too many things at home, the child is also small, and now good children are also big, I'll do something I like
