00:07But it is all a garden to me.

00:11From Reddit.

00:12You know what? That is such a good one.

00:14And it was written so perfectly.

00:17When it was on the paper, I said, I could have written that myself.

00:21That's how perfect it is because, you know, life is like that.

00:26You know, people, they're going to say things that you don't necessarily agree with.

00:30They're going to act in ways that you don't necessarily agree with.

00:33But I always say, look to the positive.

00:35Take the good out of what they have just said and wear that.

00:39Let that grow in your garden.

00:42And I just love the fact that I get to play a woman who believes like I believe.

00:47There's something positive in every bad thing.

00:57And Mrs. Howard is most certainly learning every episode.

01:01And I love it.
