Enjoying the mangoes of a tree planted 72 ago by my father himself.
We have always been encouraged to keep planting more trees on this planet though we may not be really present to understand their beneficial results.
My 84 year old father is lucky to see the fruits of his labour be manifested into actual fruits for the world. The mango sapling that he himself had planted as a 12 year old boy has now grown into a huge tree.
I had no idea that one huge tree had hundreds of mangoes hidden inside its shady foliage, and the sight of the 6 crates full of our homegrown mangoes surely brought a big smile to my city eyes.
So in 2018 do notice these simple smiling moments.Have a smiling year!
