The diary game. “From Morning Prayers to Midnight Rest: A Day in Rhythm”

Hello, dear friends! How is everyone doing? I hope you are all well and enjoying your time with your loved ones, no matter where you are. Today, I want to share another day of my life with you all. I hope you find some time to read my post and that you find it enjoyable enough to upvote.

I am an early bird, and the loud rise of birds very early in the morning helps me wake up. The birds that live in the vicinity of my house often perch on the open windows and the balcony, making loud noises that irritate me and make it uncomfortable to stay in bed. However, this discomfort eventually helps me get up—and today was no different.

As soon as I got up, I purified myself by performing ablution, as prayers cannot be offered either at home or in the mosque without it. Ablution is a necessary step to spiritually and physically cleanse oneself before prayer. I did the same today and prepared myself for the morning prayers. Then I went to the nearby mosque. By the time I reached, the prayers had already started, and most of the gentlemen from our community were present.

I spent some peaceful time in the mosque and embraced a feeling of positivity, prosperity, and peace. Offering the morning prayers not only helps me stay calm and composed throughout the day, but also keeps me grounded and positive. It helps me cultivate humility.

After completing the morning prayers, I returned home and immediately engaged in some gardening work. Gardening is a hobby of mine, especially early in the morning. I watered the lawn, removed weeds, and placed different plants in their proper spots. This usually takes me more than half an hour.

Then I went for a walk through the orchards located nearby to burn some calories. It’s a treat to walk through these orchards early in the day. The dew drops have a soothing effect, and the ripening fruits spread a pleasant aroma that brings a strong sense of satisfaction. The ripening apples reflect the tremendous hard work that the farmers have put in throughout the year, and now it’s time for the harvest. I spent more than half an hour in the orchards and then returned home for breakfast, after which I quickly left for the office.

For more than a month now, I have been posted at the district headquarters for digitisation of revenue records. Since I am based right at the headquarters, arriving late would be embarrassing. That’s why I try to leave early to reach on time, and today again, I wasn’t late at all.

I went straight into my routine work and didn’t leave my seat until afternoon. I had my lunch and a cup of tea, after which I resumed work until 4 PM. It takes me more than half an hour to reach back home, but I have found a shortcut route from the district headquarters to my place. It’s a well-maintained road, and traffic is minimal, which spares me the trouble of getting stuck in jams. Because of this, I’m not too concerned about my transfer from the block headquarters to the district headquarters.

Upon reaching home, I was exhausted, so I took a nap. Later, after having a cup of tea, my mother assigned me the task of roasting some corn cobs. It’s actually a chore I dislike, but since it was my mother’s request, I couldn’t refuse.

Later in the evening, I went to see my friends at the main market in the village, where we usually gather to share our experiences. After that, I chatted with friends on social media and spent some time exploring different filters on Snapchat. Dinner was served at around 10 PM, and finally, at around 11:45 PM, I went to sleep and called it a day.

Thank you for going through my post. Have a great time ahead.
