Reflections on Abundance and Happiness after the Garden / 庭帰りに考えた豊かさや幸せ

This evening I packed a bento box with sandwiches and nuggets, and went to the garden with my daughter. On the way back, the empty box was filled with our harvest. I couldn’t help but feel how abundant life can be with small daily things. We even used a zucchini as a karaoke mic and laughed so hard together — moments like that must be what happiness really is.

After

I was also grateful that the Hive Fest ticket could be paid with the HBD I’ve been happily receiving day by day. It made me realize that abundance and happiness are often found close by, in everyday life.

We’re constantly surrounded by societal standards like “you need to earn this much,” “you must own this,” or “you should save this amount for retirement.” And somewhere along the way, maybe we forget what truly makes us smile, what happiness means for us personally. It's really diverse up to the person.

That was my reflection on the way back from the garden today.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend ☺️


今日は、お弁当を持って夕方子供と庭に遊びに行ってきました。お弁当箱にはサンドイッチとナゲット詰めていって、空になったお弁当箱に収穫物を入れて帰ってきました。なんていうか、豊かだなあとしみじみ。子供とズッキーニをマイクにカラオケをして、大爆笑して、そんな時間って幸せなんだろうなとも。

ビフォア

アフター

Hive Festのチケット代は日々楽しく書いてもらったHBDでするっと払えて、豊かさとか幸せって実は身近なところにあるのかなと思ったのでした。

世間的な基準で「これだけ稼がないといけない」「これは持っていないと」「老後のためにこれだけ貯蓄しないと」みたいな十把一絡な価値観にさらされ続けて、いつの間にか私たちは自分が何を嬉しく思うのか、自分にとっての幸せとは何かを忘れてしまうのかもしれません。そんなことを思う庭帰りでした。

みなさん、よい週末を☺️

It’s such a beautiful reminder that abundance and happiness aren’t about meeting societal standards, but about the little moments that make us laugh, feel grateful and truly alive.
