🌿 From the hustle and bustle to the warmth: A travelogue of retur...

Hello, my lovely friends!

This morning begins with a full-blown housekeeping mission. The pile of work waiting seems like a small test of my patience. I spent time moving around, tackling the dust and misplaced items one by one. Even though I was sweating and my body was protesting with exhaustion, looking back and seeing the clean, organized house strangely lightened my heavy heart.
The reward this morning is nothing better than sipping a warm, rich coffee, its aroma filling the room, paired with a plate of chilled, crisp apples. The sweetness, crunch, and warmth from the coffee cup are like a final recharge before the important mission of my heart begins.

🛵 The Green Road and a Journey for the Heart: Once my household chores were done, it was time for me to find solace. I grabbed my car keys and headed away from the hustle and bustle of home and the honking of horns. Along the way, I caught sight of a vast, clear blue sky slowly revealing itself to welcome me. Fluffy white clouds drifted lazily, contrasting with the lush green trees lining the roadside. The further I drove, the more the stress accumulated throughout the week seemed to drift away on the breeze.

🍃 Midday, as nature embraces and love blossoms in the garden home. The moment the wheels roll into the garden home area, the familiar scent of earth and the refreshing aroma of trees greet us like old friends. The first sound we hear isn't the engine, but the gentle rustling of coconut leaves in the wind—a truly soothing melody.
The activity I've been waiting for is to greet the little pets. Seeing their innocent eyes and joyful expressions when they see me approaching is incredibly energizing. I carefully feed them little by little, watching them eat with relish amidst the gentle breeze. The pace of life here is slower and simpler, making me forget how rushed I used to be in the mornings.

A silence that isn't loneliness. Right now, I sit still under the shade of a large tree, letting my eyes rest on the green leaves, and allowing my heart to absorb the way of nature deep into my soul. This return to the garden reminds me that sometimes, true happiness isn't measured by great achievements, but by having time to listen to my own breath and bringing my heart back to the safe haven of nature.

Tomorrow might be a tough workday, but my emotional battery is fully recharged here, at our garden home.
