One thought the stray chocolate mint wouldn’t survive through the four day holiday weekend. And yet, it’s only to see that new sprouts have sprung up into life on top of what appear to be dried stems and withered leaves.

Plainly potted in a small ceramic cup with little soil, the herb plant now shows new signs of life.
Perhaps the lesson learned is that life can begin again with a little bit of faith, a little bit of hope and a little bit of love and care.
And that those dying leaves and stems are not actually dead, they only give rise to younger shoots and greener leaves as life goes on.
Writer’s Note:
Using my very own (or rather old) 1.3 MB camera phone, I took the above picture of the chocolate mint herb plant brought in by my "front" cube neighbor.
Here, in the States, people get off work on Thanksgiving Day (Lể Tạ Ơn) and the following Black Friday. Together with the normally two days weekend, they make up "the four day holiday weekend."
