Spiral staircases

Last fall we visited Wales and when in Wales one must of course visit castles.  This was my favorite, mostly because of this tower.  I found a winding staircase that just kept going up and up.  It was exciting to find at each floor that it just kept going.  It ended up on this turret and other than a rather queasy stomach from a fear of heights it was a great view.

I love stair cases, paths, trails, doorways, etc. that lead to mysterious new places.  You just never know what is beyond that bend or hill.  It could be the most exciting thing you've ever seen!  Usually it's just another bend or hill but that doesn't stop me from getting very excited about the journey.

Now, if only I could get that excited about my life when it seems be a path with lots of twists and turns.  Instead, I just get frustrated at not being able to see the end right now.  I should probably learn some sort of life lesson from this turret.  Maybe next year.
