Day 7: Already!

I thank God, the Almighty God for the safe arrival of my hubby and I last Saturday 2nd September 2011 at San Francisco, my new home to be. After a lengthy wait, who'd ever thought that the day will also be mixed with sadness and uncontrollable sobbing? As I type, I can hear an airplane from a distance taking off; in retrospect, before the plane took of a week ago at Sydney airport, I couldn't contain the overwhelming emotions and thought of leaving my precious family behind. Each of my family's faces, running through my mind and not being able to hug and visit them often was anguish at that very moment and day when I stepped inside the departure alley. I do thank God my husband was there to accompany me, as he was the arm I held on to tightly, releasing the heartache. He was my moral support and guide as I felt totally lost and had little focus on what to do next upon meeting the customs section,

 Painful...sad...missing....yet joy comes in the morning. I was stepping into the open door God has opened finally to say. "Now is the time." I'm like Jacob leaving my homeland not bringing much. But as I stay on God's paths, I will return to Australia with even more. My little reminder I found was from Psalm 37: 3: "Trust in the Lord and do good, then you will live safely in the land and prosper."

So I am home alone. My hubby is attending a business function which I was suppose to attend with him but due to a late finish from last night's event, we got home at 6:30am and ended up waking at 3pm. My body has never been used to this pattern of sleep and rising up, so I felt completely "un-functional." So I stayed home, ate an afternoon lunch, showered, went out on a stroll and browsed at my new fave store Anthropologie then back. Did pedicure and relaxed on the lounge floor, a comfy spot by the floor windows overlooking neighbouring apartments, vast blue sky and trees. The view just relaxes me for I love being able to see the sky.... and lots of it! Even the bedroom is super cool. Being on the 3rd floor is fantastic! Silly me though, I tend to take short and quick snoops of other visible neighbours via open windows. No one here is ashamed at all, for tenants boldly have curtains wide open for me to see even at dusk. Next door is a very nice and classy apartment with a little historical architecture to it. I did see a couple of people having dinner and was gushing at how nicely structured it was. I am no spy, I just like to snoop with wonder ha!

Hubby may be arriving home soon now, so I have got to show him that I am resting early.
