Breaking Free From Stress

I'm not going to work tomorrow! Yeah, I just made up my mind yesterday. Never did I plan this. I'm going to take a vacation leave. I just had this amazing idea to go somewhere quiet, where I can gather my thoughts, write my plans, reflect and just walk with God without thinking about my daily tasks and worries. I want to relax for a couple of days, go to Tagaytay and reward myself with the fresh breeze I greatly deserve! I want to just lie in the grass, read a book, write in my journal, eat something delicious, gaze at a clear blue sky, take pictures and just breathe in the goodness that is around me (which reminds me to pray for a nice weather tomorrow, or else, I might end up "walking in the rain". But if this ever happens, I promise I'm gonna enjoy whatever comes my way.) And then I want to go to the beach, play with the sand, embrace the approaching waves, see the very wide horizon and just dream. But i don't have a budget for this. This vacation is unplanned remember? I think I can pull this through. I don't have much money, but I think I have enough. I can go to Tagaytay Picnic Grove - it won't cost me much, right? Then, I can just buy food in the supermarket and take some from home. But I don't want this vacation to be just a one day event. And where is the beach? Hmm... I have a friend who lives near the beach... in Batangas. Perfect! She texted me just a few minutes ago that I can stay in their house on Friday night and we can go to the beach in the morning! Yey! everything's going well. And I'm just so excited! Life is so sweet. I promise I'm going to enjoy every moment. And I'm going to take lots and lots of pictures. I'll open myself to a few more twists and turns, mishaps or whatever but I'll certainly face the day with a big big smile and a heart filled with so much gratitude. Lord, thank you for planning this vacation for me.
