Thursday Challenge: Golden

Taken from the balcony of our 14th floor unit

Waikiki, Hawaii

Each golden sunrise ushers in new opportunities

for those who retain faith in themselves,

and keep their chins up.

Meet the sunrise with confidence.

Fill every golden minute with right thinking

and worthwhile endeavor.

Do this and there will be joy for you

in each golden sunset.

The Eye Test

Deep Down You Are Sensitive

You're the type of person who notices everything and forgets nothing. You are very in tune with the world. You feel deeply, and sometimes the silliest things can effect you. You are easily brought to laughter or tears. You don't show the world how fragile you are. You instead show people how insightful you can be. You are good at anticipating what's going to happen in your life. You are often the first one to see what's coming.

Weekend Snapshot: Ducks on the Lake

There is a man-made lake (with a fountain in the middle) on our backyard.

This afternoon, I saw two ducks standing on the side of the lake looking at the fountain.

What Kind of Adventure Do You Crave?

I Crave a Cultural Adventure

Life has gotten a bit routine for me lately, and I'd like to broaden my perspective. I want to learn and grow from my adventure. I want to know the place I visit as well as my home town. I am an open minded and curious traveler. I'm all about immersing myself in local customs, no matter how foreign they are. Whenever I'm in a new place, I try to speak the language, eat the food, and meet the locals. After all, that's what traveling is all about!

What is Your Word?

My Word is "Peace"

I see life as precious, and I wish everyone was safe, happy, and taken care of. Social justice, human rights, and peace for all nations are all important to me. While I can't stop war, I try to be as calm and compassionate as possible in my everyday life. I promote harmony and cooperation. I am always willing to meet someone a little more than halfway.

Weekend Snapshot: Weekend at Home

On Saturday afternoon, I saw an iguana lurking on our garden near the pool.

It was a beautiful sunny Sunday and the ducks were enjoying the sun and the water on the lake (man-made) behind our house.

Skywatch Friday: Here Comes the Sun

I took these shots inside a plane on our flight from Newark, NJ to Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

It is awesome watching the sun rise over the horizon.

My Least Favorite Subject

Disliking Math Says You Are Expressive

You are an expressive, passionate, and spontaneous person. For you, math is way too cold a subject. You dislike how black and white it is. While some people have extreme passion for math, that would take far more work than you're willing to put in. What you're into changes like the wind, and you could never be forced to choose one thing. You have to be free to follow what you love.
