Weekly Photo Challenge: JOURNEY
In this journey called life, we should focus on each precious moments, rather than looking toward the future. Joy does not only come at the end of the road. It can be available now.
Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it. (Greg Anderson)
It may be when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey. (Wendell Berry)
It has never been, and never will be easy work! But the road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination. (Marion Zimmer Bradley)
I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it if only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom. (Les Brown)
It is better to travel well than to arrive. (Buddha)
We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey. (Stephen Covey)
The journey between what you once were and who you are now becoming is where the dance of life really takes place. (Barbara DeAngelis)

Weekly Photo Challenge: UNUSUAL
This was a view from the window of a hotel where I stayed last November. I zoomed my camera to find out what this coin-looking figure was. It was actually a building! Unusual shape for a very tall structure, isn’t it?

FOOTNOTE (23 March 2012): Finally, I found the name of this odd-looking structure. It’s an offfice building called HQ. The HQ Building was voted in 2008 as ‘Best Futuristic Design’ by the Building Exchange Conference, and is a striking addition to the Abu Dhabi skyline. The building is the world’s first circular skyscraper.
