Insightful Vinyl For The Week
"Don’t be gloomy. Do not dwell on unkind things. Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. Even if you are not happy, put a smile on your face. “Accentuate the positive.” Look a little deeper for the good. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life.” ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

DREAMS ALOFT! MY BIRTHDAY BALLOON RIDE.

The winds have welcomed you with softness.
The Sun has blessed you with his warm hands.
You have flown so high and so well,that God has joined you in your laughter,


and He has set you gently back again,

into the loving arms of mother earth. Irish proverb
After 11 1/2 years of marriage we finally went on our hot air balloon ride! It was for my 36th birthday, and it was one of the most amazing experiences I've had in my life. It was surreal to slowly float heavenward and then gently be suspended in mid-air 5000 ft above the world. The silence and cool air were replenishing to my mind, and watching the dawning sun sweep across the ground below chasing away the shadows, was enlightening to my soul. The world is good, God is real, and our life is but a tiny moment in the grand scheme of things.
