Chapter 1: The Hectic Week

We all experience those weeks that seem overwhelmingly busy, don’t we? From work commitments to household tasks, to managing children’s activities, the list can feel endless.

Recently, my days have been packed, from the demands of my job that require constant attention to establishing a new garden space. I want to take a moment to acknowledge all the dedicated individuals in the landscaping field; their work is incredibly demanding.

As a passionate DIYer, I often strive to handle as much as I can by myself. For three years, I've been involved in landscaping and gardening projects for personal satisfaction, and I can affirm that it takes a lot of determination to take on such challenges, especially when your partner has ambitious ideas.

This week marked my second home project where I manually moved over five tons of stone and soil using a 4x4 wheelbarrow—truly one of my best investments.

The timing couldn't have been better; with no internet connection last Friday, I had no work-related distractions. I received same-day delivery of supplies, allowing me to accomplish everything in one go.

Today is Sunday, and I feel completely exhausted. I had a few phone calls this morning, but nothing too pressing. Now, I find myself sitting in our newly designed garden, enjoying the peacefulness and watching the birds flit towards the fountain at its center—such a joy!

After achieving something significant, it's often said that rewarding yourself is important. Today, this serene environment serves as my well-deserved reward.

My dog is nearby, lazily resting under the sun's warm rays. I still can't quite fathom why he prefers this heat, especially being a German Shepherd, but that’s his choice. He gazes at me with half-closed eyes, seemingly questioning why I’m sitting so still when I’m usually on the go.

I relish the moment with a chilled pint in hand—what a sweet reward after the whirlwind of the past few days.

I hope your Sunday brings you as much tranquility as mine does. Wishing you a fantastic week ahead, filled with productivity and joy!
