Paddington Old Cemetery

Working in the office from 9-6 can be quiet daunting at times and especially the environment I work in.

Two days ago it got a little hectic and I felt like breaking down. I needed to escape I wanted find my my own peace of mind....then it hit me. I remembered there was a cemetery right round the corner from my work place.

I had a 45 minute lunch break, so I took the opportunity to escape work for abit and visit Paddington Cemetery

Soon as it hit lunch time, I quickly ate my food (lamb chili con carne courtesy of Mama Chelle and she deserves 5 stars) I put on my jacket and went.

As I entered I could feel the cold air kissing against my skin and my mind was suddenly at ease. With the dead trees and the dried brown leaves scattered all over the ground it reminded me of a scene in Sleepy Hollow. I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of the memorial statues dedicated to the soldiers who fought in the war and tombstones dated back to the 1800's.

Walking just made me forget about my worries. I suddenly felt content and by looking around it made me realise that life is truly precious. It's a shame that I myself get so caught up in the world I forget at times the true value of life. I remembered a Pastor once said 'learn to just be content with the nation' I needed to be content with my nation (work, situations, family and so on) so now I need to start making a few adjustments.

Don't you find it amazing how a place can make you forget all your worries? This is one adventure I will never forget and worth visiting again.
