Byron Bay is the cutest little town I have ever been too. I would more or less describe it as a hippy town. There are so many interesting shops with a lot of interesting things in them.
I saw a "Fairy Lady" today. She sat and drew you as a fairy...how cool is that?!
I went back to the lighthouse lookout. It is some of the most beautiful scenery on Earth, and yes I'm pretty confident with that statement. This time I walked down to the beach, boy that was a hike!
It wasn't that sunny of a day but hey its just another day to enjoy. I was at the beach and I was looking out into the ocean and I saw dolphins. They were just playing around in the ocean jumping and showing off. As I stood there and took it all in I wondered what it would be like to be a dolphin. What worry do they have? Well I can think of one...who is going to consume them for a meal, but I could be someones next meal too. All they do is just play in the ocean together and create a show for us to watch. How amazing!
When I was on the beach watching this I asked some woman in a red bathing suit if she could kindly take a picture of me. Of course she could, have you ever come across someone who isn't willing to take your picture? So we had a but of fun she took some shots of me and I returned the favour. As I was taking pictures of her she was more interested in getting the dolphins in the background. She had mentioned to me that she had just finished swimming with the dolphins. This woman was... I actually don't think I have the words to describe her. I think eccentric would be a good place to start. She was so excited about her swim with the dolphins and as I was taking pictures of her she was in the ocean calling the dolphins. She was such an incredibly happy woman. All these little things in life that can make us so happy. We get so caught up in our busy lives that we forget to think about life's simple pleasures that can bring us so much joy. I really wish that I could have sat and had coffee with this woman because I believe that she would have an incredible story.

Today was my 2nd time to Byron Bay and the next time I go I think I'm going to take the bus there for the weekend, stay in a hostel and go and do something where I can enjoy life's simple pleasures. I need to take some time and let my mind be at ease and not always be thinking of what I am going to do next and just take a minute and have my mind at complete ease. Life is too short to rush through it.
I have really been neglecting my journal lately because I have been so busy, but I have actually been so busy doing nothing. I go to the beach with some friends everyday it seems or just hang out. It's about time I take some time and head to the beach alone with my journal in hand.
I was made fun of at one time by writing in a journal. I became a little hesitant to write in it and also tell people that I had a journal. I felt the need to write in a journal, its the only thing that will truly keep secrets, and not talk back to you. I found this book today called "global gypsy" it is about a man who travelled the world and while he did so he wrote in his journal, took lots of pictures and living by these quotes he came across. I feel very proud now to write in a journal, I love it in fact and I will never stop writing!
I am also very excited today because my good friend, Kelly, just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. I am so happy for her and Cody. You guys will make such amazing parents. Don't forget to sit back and take in life's simple pleasures because before you know it your little guy will be starting his first day at school! I can't wait to meet Hayden, so weird to think that I will be meeting him when he is just about 1 year old.
