The Lucky Bean Tree

Earlier this year my parents sent me a lucky bean tree in celebration of the new job that I got in July. The tree is supposed to bring you good luck and grow with your success. Much to my surprise, the tree went from being a little scrappy thing to a big, tall tree with lots of new branches and sprouts.

Unfortunately over the last month the tree has really dropped a lot of leaves. We had to pull out one of the growths because it died. It's just not looking that great. Perhaps this tree shouldn't be called a "lucky" bean tree, but more of a "present day representing" bean tree. Today was my last day of work at my job and it obvious that the tree knew it was coming all along. Thanks for the warning!
