My thoughts today
When I come here to my village home, my friends in city ask me what do I do through out the day, because this is such a cut off life for me from everything. I do not have any specific answer for them, but yes I tell them that I have enough things to do to keep me busy, and honestly there is no particular activity as such but yet my whole day has something or the other to do, and everything I do at a slow pace, I do not have to rush for anything that's the best thing.
My morning starts a little late at around 8, I have my tea sitting in front of the lush green mountains, then I do my blogging activity for couple of hours, after that it's garden time and then tending to some of the house work and kitchen activities. By the time I am done with all of it it's almost 2. Then I have my lunch and relax for some time. Evening I go for my serene nature walks, up to the near by hills. Last week one of my friend had accompanied me, she stayed with me for 3 days and every evening I would take her for a walk to the hills. On the 3rd day she was bored and she told me that she would not like to live in such a place for a long time, because how much can you enjoy nature also. I was a little baffled and did not know what to respond.
For me it's never enough, I enjoy doing these walks daily, I enjoy sitting in my balcony and gazing the nature around every moment. Yesterday I was telling my husband, that we both must have done some really very good deeds to be blessed with such a beautiful home in an environment like this. How can I get bored of something so beautiful like this. My life has slowed down drastically in the last 10 years and I am so much loving it, I am not bored of it, I am enjoying every moment of living this slowness and enjoying every moment of it. 15 years back Life for me was working 12 hours coming home and going to sleep, with barely any time for self. When I quit working for 1 year I was feeling lost but now it feels like this is what really life has to be like. The corporate chaos eats us up.
I now hate routines, I enjoy this freedom and silence. If I had a choice I would never go back to the city, but as of now I cannot afford to do that, because as much as I enjoy this life I also cannot live without my hubby. And as far as he is working in his job in Muscat, I need to be with him. Once he quits his job then we will permanently come and settle down in our village home. Life is peaceful and healthy here. I grow my own food, I have pollution free air to breathe, my eyes get a feast of nature every single moment, I do not have to see those tall skyscrapers which hurts my eyes. I am completely cut off from all the chaos. Also when I am here, I live a minimalist life. I need 3 to 4 pairs of clothes and some basic utilities. There is no show off business, there is not much of fancy outings here, not many people coming home, except for local people who are so very simple and down to earth.
Here it's just me with my self.
Thank you for visiting my blog. 👼🏻👼🏻💖💖🌹🌺🌸
@nainaztengra, this post is absolutely captivating! It's refreshing to read about your embrace of a slower, more intentional life in your village home. The contrast you draw between your current peaceful existence and the corporate chaos of your past resonates deeply. Your stunning photography truly captures the beauty and serenity of your surroundings; I can almost feel the fresh mountain air! I especially appreciate your perspective on needing very little when surrounded by nature's bounty. It's a powerful reminder to re-evaluate our priorities. I am sure many can relate to your journey and find inspiration in your words. What are some small steps others can take to incorporate this "slowness" into their daily lives, even amidst the hustle and bustle? Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise and inviting us to reflect on what truly matters!

This is one big change in me, I just do not feel like I need anything when I am here, I feel so whole and contended just with the surroundings and mind is so much at peace. There is no superficial life and show off business here
