I've realized in this fast-paced lifestyle of mine I barely ever find time to just think about things and reflect on my life and what I'm doing here on Earth.  Since I've been in Sydney, how many times have I given myself the chance to sit at the harbour or somewhere else and think?  Zero, if I didn't count today.  I keep myself running and tallying how much I've seen.  Why is it a big race to see and see more?  What about stopping to think about what you're seeing and appreciating the beauty around you?

Today I stood in a spot that I told myself to remember forever so if I ever returned I could remember how it was to stand there when I was 21... when I was all alone with no family or friends to share the moment with.  I wonder if I'll ever return to Australia... and if I ever do I wonder who will be with me.  You know what... I will only be able to recognize this spot at night when the waves are reflecting light... Ah man, I just realized that, lol.  I guess the next time I return, it'll have to be at night =) .....
