So we all just need to keep breathing - putting one foot in front of the other. I love the balloons. Sometimes I'd like to float - up, up, and away from the news.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02500485507169803227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-43679737297029749432021-08-26T18:50:57.346-04:002021-08-26T18:50:57.346-04:00Perfect Bonny, and I'm going to be smiling abo...Perfect Bonny, and I'm going to be smiling about that Wonder Bread balloon for a while.

I am heartsick today (and actually all this week) about what is going on in the world. The worst part is knowing that there is very little I can do to change any of it. You and my husband both remind me that I must acknowledge the realities and accept my powerlessness to change it. So, today I will I will strive to develop a laughing heart and reset my outlook. I will try to float on the surface of the world today.
