Living here in the province always reminds me how beautiful a simple life can be. Life on the farm may not be the same with city life, but it is filled with peace, happiness, and the kind of blessings that money cannot buy. Surrounded by nature, fresh air, and generous family, I feel truly thankful for this kind of life.
One of the things I love most about living in the province is the abundance of fruits and vegetables around us. We have marang, bananas, passion fruit, durian, edible fern, and many other fresh vegetables that grow nearby. It feels so good knowing that whenever I want something fresh to cook or eat, I can simply go outside and harvest it.
Early that day, I went out to gather edible fern while the morning was still calm and fresh. The cool air and quiet surroundings made the moment even more relaxing. My siblings also helped me, which made the task lighter and more enjoyable. Aside from gathering edible fern, they also picked some durian for me to bring home. I felt so happy and grateful because my siblings are truly generous. In return, I also love sharing with them whenever I can. Whenever I visit them, I always make sure to bring something, and when it is time for me to go home, they also send me back with fruits or anything they have harvested. It has become a simple but meaningful way of showing love and care for one another.
My daughter was especially excited when she saw the marang and durian. We decided to open the marang first because it was easier for her to eat and enjoy. Seeing her excitement made me smile because children really find joy in the simplest things. My niece was also happy, and it made the whole moment even more heartwarming.
Moments like this make me appreciate life in the province even more. Harvesting fruits straight from the farm, sharing food with family, and enjoying nature’s free blessings bring a kind of happiness that is hard to explain. Life on the farm is simple, but it is full of love, gratitude, and beautiful memories.
