🏠 Warmth in the Heart... Starting the Day with Love and Care

Good morning, my dear friends!

This morning begins simply, yet very special. The gentle aroma of hot rice porridge fills the small house filled with love. I woke up early to prepare breakfast with all my heart, knowing that the first meal of the day is essential energy for the family. Today, the table only features a simple yet delicious dish of rice porridge and salted fish, but it's the most enjoyable meal because of the laughter and warm conversations of the family and close relatives who come to visit.

After a satisfying meal, it's time for a mission of the heart: taking care of my mother-in-law. For me, serving her isn't just a duty, but a source of pride. The moment I gently help her bathe and dry her, or carefully feed her soft, easily digestible food, one spoonful at a time, I always receive a gentle smile in return. That smile makes me realize that "filial piety"
is the greatest positive energy to start my day. 🫶🏻🥰

🦜 Family Members and Their Busy Mission 🐢

After taking care of my mother-in-law, it was time for the mischievous pets in the house to take care of me. I started by cleaning their house thoroughly, sweeping and wiping until it sparkled. Then I served them their favorite treats: a special liquid food and various grains. Seeing them eat with such relish made me smile.

🐢 My Sulcata tortoise's way of relaxing is soaking in water. I take him for a warm bath to stimulate his digestive system and refresh him before letting him roam freely and explore his little territory.
Once I've taken care of the housework—cooking, doing laundry, washing dishes—and everything is sparkling clean, it's time to head to the peaceful tranquility of
our garden home.

🌿 A Trip to a Garden Home: The Scent of Earth and Grass, and Friendship from Fellow Creatures

As soon as the car turned onto the small dirt road lined with lush green trees, the sky looked clear and expansive.
Here, there was a most enthusiastic "welcome team"—flocks of ducks, chickens, and geese—who rushed towards us the moment they heard the car, knowing that delicious food was coming our way. My husband and I split up to do our duties... he went to feed the fish in the large pond, while I took care of the poultry, feeding them rice grains. The small commotion as they swarmed to eat was such a joyful sight that I had to capture it with my camera.

🍅 Rewards from the Soil: When patience begins to bear fruit, it becomes a source of pride.

It's time to go home. This is my little beverage shop in front of the temple. While waiting to welcome customers, I took the opportunity to stroll through the backyard garden. And the fatigue from housework completely disappeared when I saw the produce I've planted.
Today, the tomatoes are starting to smile at me with their plump, green fruits. The chili peppers I carefully planted are beginning to bear fruit, and so is the durian tree I've been nurturing. I meticulously fertilize and water them patiently. The plants in the garden look so fresh and vibrant under our care.
My day may seem simple to others, but for me, it's a day full of meaning. Taking care of loved ones, watching the plants grow, and being surrounded by pure nature – this is my simple life and my happiness in the present moment. I am very content.

I hope this little story helps spread encouragement and smiles to everyone today. Thank you for your continued support. See you again in the next article. For today, goodbye! 🙏🏻❤️🫶🏻
