Mountainous Retreat

Last weekend the family (in-laws included) spent some much-needed quality time on the snow-capped mountain for some much-needed stress relief and exercise (I call it my exercise for the month year, and I stand by this claim).

Goodness me, who could EVER feel encumbered by the crushing weight of obligation, stress or work when you wake up to such a view in the morning? (ref picture below) As I finally managed to pick up the bare basics of manoeuvring on the blasted snowboard after my first attempt which included falling (not boarding) all the way from the top to the bottom, I just felt so...free. Part of learning how to board was just to let.it.be, and to trust that my body has got this covered. Pretty amazing stuff there!

Doubtless the weekend away from home did me good. I think the same can be said for the others. Unfortunately, Sunday rolled around pretty quickly. We came and we went...Back to home it was, said time :(   

The only things remaining from our then-anticipated trip are our lovely, lovely pictures, and the crazy aching of my muscles protesting over the strenuous act of picking my bottom off the snow time and time (and time) again.




Sigh, I miss it already.

DEFINITELY a trip worth repeating! I'm already anticipating our next weekend getaway...


p.s. thanks for the cool driving, Cwee!
p.p.s. I am sooo addicted to this collage-making app thingy I'd just downloaded yest (if you haven't yet noticed :p)
