Hi !!! Hope everyone is having a great Sunday. After spending some time in my small garden this morning, i just felt like sharing the sheer pleasure of gardening.
In our everyday lives, we spend at-least 8 to 9 hours at work... some more time commuting... doing daily chores. Roughly I am engaged in my routine for 12 hours away from home. Luckily for me the work that i do, is my passion and i generally enjoy every bit of it.
Work-Life Balance is becoming exceedingly important in this rush of life. It is often a challenge to scoop out time for yourself and just chill. But trust me when i say u can! We CAN really find time if we really want to... to do the things we love to... to do the things that make us happy. May be this needs a little more planning in the beginning, but soon the wagon starts turning on the auto mode.
Everyone has a different idea to achieve work-life balance... try to relax and refresh... Gardening myself has made a lovely difference to my life. Seeing the saplings grow, the lovely colors, mesmerizing flowers.... sheer happiness. I just love it!
I realized there are ups and downs in a plants life too... :) and seeing them recover by figuring out simple things like which location in the garden is favorable for them, gives me inner strength unknowingly.
The labor involved in gardening... planting, pruning, weeding, potting, building planters, application of manure and even shopping for my garden :))) is equivalent to meditation for me. I am so engrossed and high on concentration, that i feel completely rejuvenated ... fresh once i am done.
I have Sonchafa, White and Red Chafa, Coconut trees, a number of flowering and non-flowering shrubs, xerophytes, Lotus ponds, a few veggies and orchids in my garden... so loads of variety...
I have uploaded a few photographs to share this joy with all of you! I shall continue to provide updates on my gardening experience...
