My spot

I realized something about myself. Every time I go somewhere new I like to establish at least one spot. This spot is my spot. My happy place. My quiet time area, thinking zone, whatever you wanna call it. I have a few spots in Provo. I usually find these spots on my runs, as I did this spot in Fiji. To get to this spot you walk down Vunivadra Place and take a left on the main road. You walk up a hill and go right on a foot path that takes you over a small creek and though some kassava plants. My spot is at the peak of set of green rolling hills. It overlooks all of Lautoka city and has the most perfect view of the ocean. Seconds from this spot is a huge ancient tree, the type that begs you to climb it with its low reaching limbs and its shadowing leaves. This tree is an extension of my spot as it gives an even better view of my city and offers a nice breeze. 

I love finding these spots and sharing them with my close friends. I took Holly and Molly here the other day. We listened to music and made up weird dances. We may have removed some clothes to help with our tan...and then quickly covered ourselves back up when we realized that we were in fact on a golf course. Later we climbed the tree and took a trip down memory lane with some Disney songs. I know this probably all sounds weird and stupid but I remember feeling very happy. Very happy and very free. I love being with new friends, doing new things, being weird, occasionally not thinking before doing, and enjoying every minute of it. It is easy to make each moment memorable when you are on a vacation; that lingering end date pushes you to make the most of each day. But I hope that when I return home I will continue to live this vacation mentality. I don't want to take a day for granted just because it is routine or blow off family just because they will always be there. As much as we like to believe that we are invincible we aren't. Life is fragile and beautiful, and it is what you make of it. Anyway, enough of Bekah trying to sound deep and insightful. Here are some pretty shots at my spot.
