It has always been a lifelong aspiration for everyone to reside in a tranquil environment, free from the clutches of pollution and noise. A place where we can breathe in fresh, oxygen-rich air instead of suffocating carbon dioxide.
A place where we can enjoy a restful night's sleep and wake up each morning filled with vitality. However, some individuals find themselves without a choice due to work commitments.
Cities provide numerous employment opportunities that enable us to sustain our livelihoods.
Today, let us take a moment to explore a peaceful and serene place in my neighborhood. This haven is surrounded by an abundance of trees, offering soothing shade and a delightful coolness that grants us complete relaxation after a gruelling day at work.
Many of us struggle to meet our daily needs and constantly race against time to fulfill work obligations. That is precisely why I sought out this place that effectively eradicates the stress from my professional life. During my recent visit to the tailor's house, where my daughter's uniform was being sewn, we were both captivated by the sheer beauty of nature along our way.
How I absolutely adore this place! Staying here brings such a sense of peace and relaxation to myself. It feels like a charming mini forest, abundant with fresh air that nourishes the locals.
Not to mention, it serves as a magnificent habitat for various animals, particularly the beautiful birds. I am serenaded by the delightful melodies of different insects and the melodies of the chirping of the birds.
The sight of butterflies gracefully sipping nectar from flowers, dragonflies zippping around, and countless of grasshoppers adds to the enchantment.
The bamboo trees that stretch towards the sky along the river. The locals ingeniously utilize the bamboo stalks for crafting chicken fences and even a cozy bamboo sofa set. Speaking of locals, they have no shortage of firewood for cooking, and it's heartening to see that only a few are reliant on stoves at home.
Living in a place as wonderful as this undoubtedly helps families in reducing their expences.
Soon, the corn plants will be harvested, as it seems they have withstood the scorching heat of the sun. In my countryside, people diligently plant corn in their farms, and the locals greatly rely on it for sustenance. It's a perfect match to a hearty vegetable soup and some delectable dried fish as well.
In the province where we reside, we are surrounded by a simple and peaceful way of life. Our land is filled with a diverse array of plants and vegetables, which serve as our source of nourishment for the entire family. Whenever the gentle breeze brushes against our skin, we can't help but feel invigorated and refreshed.
On the other side, we are fortunate to witness both young and old coconut trees. Some of them are small in stature, while others reach great heights. It's a delightful sight to see goats leisurely grazing on the grass beneath the cool shade of these trees. The harmony between animals and trees in this area is evident; both benefit from one another's presence.
While strolling along, I came across a baby takdong, a type of brush snail, clinging to a leaf. This particular snail is a delicacy cherished by the locals, myself included.
Instead of plucking it from the leaf to be consumed, I decided to let it stay and thrive. It is a joy to discover such exotic and delectable treats hidden among the leaves and branches of our surroundings.
I was absolutely amazed by this enormous bunch of bananas swaying gently on its tree. Some people were even selling them to their neighbors, but others were lucky enough to enjoy them for themselves.
It's incredible how much nature has to offer us if we simply take care of it. We have an abundance of delicious food, beautiful woods, refreshing shade, and pure, fresh air waiting to be consumed.
When you're feeling stressed and depleted, nature has the incredible power to help us rejuvenate and replenish our energy. Whenever I start to feel overwhelmed, I find solace on taking a walk amidst the comforting shade of the trees, breathing in the coolness that surrounds me.
If you're also feeling stressed, I hope you'll find the time to reconnect with nature. Trust me, it can work wonders. Thank you so much for dedicating your time in reading my blog. Until next time, take care!❤️
