Hello everyone!
Yesterday was such a busy day for me. I had many deadlines to finish and also attended online meetings, so I slept late and woke up very early the today.
Honestly, I still felt tired when I opened my eyes, but when I looked outside our farm house, I suddenly felt calm. The rice fields in front of our house were covered with thick fog, the air was very cold, and I could hear the sounds of chickens and birds around the farm. That simple view already made my morning feel better. Living here in the farm is really different. Sometimes even if you are already very tired, waking up in a peaceful place like this still gives you happiness and different energy to start the day.
After a few minutes, I went outside and walked around our garden. While walking, I saw the banana plants of my husband already growing fruits. Seeing those things makes me happy because I know how much effort my husband gives in taking care of the plants. Farm life is not easy, but it feels rewarding when you see the results little by little. He can’t visit this all the that’s why we don’t see that the banana is ready to harvest.
Since my body was feeling tired and my throat was not okay, I decided to cook something healthy for lunch. I picked fresh vegetables from our garden for my monggo recipe. I made it pure vegetables because I wanted something light and healthy to eat. I really love getting vegetables directly from the garden because they are fresh and natural. While preparing the ingredients, I also picked some lemongrass. Instead of making coffee, which I usually drink every morning, I boiled hot water with lemongrass and drank it. For now, I want to choose healthier drinks first because my body feels exhausted from work and lack of sleep. Coffee can wait for another day. Hehe!😁
Life here on the farm is simple, peaceful, and quiet. There are no loud noises, only the sounds of nature around us. The fresh air and green surroundings make me feel relaxed even during stressful days. But living here also teaches me to become hardworking. Farm life is not all about beautiful views. You also need patience, effort, and discipline every day.

This kind of simple life gives me peace of mind. Sometimes happiness is really found in simple things like fresh air, healthy food, quiet mornings, and a home surrounded by nature. Have a nice day!
