I'll stand by you

throw it away, forget yesterday
we'll make the great escape

I sincerely believe that there is a time & season for everything; God and His divine inexplicable timing often don't coincide with the arrangements we plan ourselves, but when they do, it takes your breath away.

This mini trip was one of those times. Although I wasn't physically or mentally struggling with anything, somehow I felt like I needed to get away from the high-rise buildings, congestion & lack of greenery of the city & escape somewhere quiet. In the outskirts of the suburbs area where your thoughts are free to escape the confines of your mind & roam the lush green forest, or when you feel your every knot & tension just slip away when you stand, very quietly, in the middle of the dark & star gaze at the vast velvet sky.

So I thank you God, for blessing me with amazing friends, for keeping me & my family safe; & most of all because even when we struggle to comprehend it, your timing is always perfect.

A quick synopsis of our great escape:

A drove us down to her place in Ringwood, gorgeous secluded area, plenty of trees, hidden away from the bustling streets. You would never run out of oxygen there! Took a long drive out to scout for V's place, overshot our mark, retraced & surprised her at her place. Had a mini photoshoot outback in the garden & played Wii fit! I hope i lost some weight, heh. :) good fun though!

Joined her lovely family for yummy pizzas. Did you know you could have desserts on a pizza? :) If you didn't make sure you try! Spent the night curled up on the couch watching the season finale of Greys, Dan in real life & Beauty & the Beast! Oh was so swept away by the lyrics in the songs (now that I'm actually old enough to understand the words).

Next morning woke up, had breakfast then took a short drive up to a scenic place, something beginning with a W but i can't place the name. Short term memory -.- Anyway had a nice long walk and then A drove me back up to the city.

A short but nonetheless much needed get away, I feel very much refreshed now :)
