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!

It looks like a dream, the images are so beautiful that I even sighed deeply.
Happiness is an interesting thing. Sometimes you search for it for a long time and can't find it, sometimes it comes to you on its own and you don't get tired at all. Sometimes it lasts only a moment, other times it lasts a long time. Some people find it in very simple things, while others need many things to be happy. I'm glad you can find happiness in the time you spend in your garden, chef.
The view really looks peaceful.

Good afternoon, dear friend @anggreklestari
You're right, happiness isn't a state of mind; happiness is a choice. Each of us decides how much adversity affects us in our lives.
It's great that you've learned to design your own spaces. There's nothing more important than having a space we love.
What you've done in your garden is truly beautiful. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing the things you've made with your own hands.
Congratulations! You live in a pleasant and beautiful place. Enjoy it!

Que bonito paisaje y plantas
I love these pics, especially the first one, showing you in your tidy little garden, looks so peaceful, relaxed, and very beautiful!
I've seen several posts about your garden, and I see it's growing very well. I think you're ready to harvest some plants. It's great that you've taken advantage of that space with something as important as gardening. It's something that offers you many benefits, such as relaxing, being able to get some food, and being able to post.
beautiful landscape, beautiful place and vibes..
It is so beautiful, magical and peaceful. Your own little green corner.
You have a truly beautiful garden, located in a truly relaxing setting. Congratulations!
I can relate so much to how gardening becomes more than just a hobby. It turns into a form of mindfulness, a quiet moment where we can reconnect with ourselves. The way you transformed an ordinary rented yard into a place of peace shows how happiness blooms when we pour our energy into the things that bring us joy.
What a lovely garden 😍.
Your garden is amazing, reading a book in your garden at the sunset may be nice and dreamful :)
