Is there a difference between "point at" and " point to"? I usually use "point at" and didn't know about "point to" until I read it in an article. I wondered if they are interchangeable. Thank you!

2023 is the Rabbit year. I just read an article by a famous fortuneteller about traveling in Rabbit year. It seems quite interesting. It says that if you want to have the good luck of marriage, you'd better travel toward the north. If you want to have a better-pay job you should travel to the south. If you want to have some luck on your investment, you can travel to the west. Traveling to the east is not a good idea though. I am actually going to take a trip soon. I just checked the map. Where I am leaving for is almost a south-east destination. Hmm.

I found a very interesting fact in my life. If I pay too much attention to the house plants, they will shrivel or eventually die. If I leave them alone, or show less care on them, they might have a chance to survive or even thrive one day. Here is what I usually do: I buy some plants and leave them in the house for a few days without doing too much. I just water them a little bit once in a while randomly. If I see them growing fine, I start to think since they are so strong, maybe I should do more. I then start following the instructions on the back of the small label hanging on the plant- eg. water 2 times a week. After a week, the plant's leaves gradually get wrinkled up or turn yellow, then eventually become unsavable. This happened too to the Daffodil I bought a couple of years ago. I was going to throw it away at first. I then thought the planting soil that came with it was pretty good, I should save it for other plants later. So removed all the parts above the dirt and dumped all the soil to a big planter pot outside. Later I added some other leftover planting soil too. The big planter pot has been sitting there and has gone through dry and wet days in the past couple of years. A week ago, I saw there were at least 3 beautiful yellow-and-white daffodil flowers standing right there in the big planter pot. I can see there are even more coming out. They are all spring- fresh and happy blooms. I am glad I left them alone for such a long time. I did give them a chance to thrive in a new life cycle, which was the best care I could provide for them.
