A Calming Corner In The Garden

I agree with the statement that happiness is created, not sought. So, I think, when we want to feel happiness, we have to create it based on what we desire. This is because not everyone has the same perspective. Different perspectives create different values ​​for happiness.  In the past, especially when I was still working in an office, I enjoyed visiting new cafes with beautiful views as a place to relax and entertain myself. That's where I got a lot of inspiration to create a calming space in my own home. I've learned a lot about design on my own. That's why I love designing spaces, especially yards. So, currently, I'm focusing on designing my yard, turning it into a garden, even if it's just a mini one.  In this post, I'll share a calming spot I created in my garden. On a bright morning, I decided to capture it on my camera. It's also a beautiful memory for when I move, as I'm currently renting this house. The night before I took these photos, it had rained after months of silence. So, the atmosphere in my mini garden looks cool, peaceful, and serene.   I make my garden a relaxing spot to read a book, or drink coffee or tea, among the plants I grow in polybags and used gallon jugs.  --- I do routine maintenance once a week on all my plants. I don't think it's difficult, especially when you love what you do. And I love gardening, so it's perfect for me. --- In my mini garden in my yard, I currently grow mustard greens, bok choy, and pagoda mustard greens. Bok choy is relatively easy to care for. Regular pruning is required. I also add to the growing medium.   And at two weeks old, I added goat manure to my plants.   These plants are now a month old, and I'll harvest them in a few days. ---  Watering the plants is also a calming moment for me. It's like meditation. It's just me and my plants. I can focus more deeply on what I want, what makes me happy. ---  I'm so grateful that God led me to this residential area. In fact, I learned about this area through an online rental agent.   This house's lease expires at the end of the year, and I haven't discussed it with the landlord yet. But I hope I can continue renting this house because I love the area around it.  Even though it's just a small house, with a small garden that I've tended, this is the happiness I've created. And the universe seems to be supporting me. Every time I look ahead, I smile. What we think about is what we attract to ourselves. So, always think positively, and I'm always confident that we will never be disappointed in this life. I believe that is when we are ready to adapt and organize what needs to be created to make ourselves happy.  ### Happy gardening!  --- >Best Regards, Anggrek Lestari ---
