Hmmm, interesting title for an entry, huh?  Did I get your attention???  Hope so!

I've received tons (okay, so I sometimes embellish) of helium balloons since my surgery.  I'm amazed at how long they remain inflated.  In fact, I still have a birthday helium balloon proudly roaming the house and my birthday was April 15th!!!!!   I think lately they are using super helium!!!!  But I digress...... 

Today, I've been in a very pensive mood.  Got a lot of life changing things happening in our lives (me and dh).  One of the main one's is where we will be living ....  the home we live in was my parents' .... it is now to be shared with my sisters.  I have lived here for 45 years; can't imagine living anywhere else; don't know what we can afford......  Leaving the 'homestead' is proving traumatic..... 

I found myself getting depressed, a place I've been in too many times in my life.  So, I sat down and took inventory of all I am thankful for; all I've been blessed with; and all I've accomplished.  Sometimes ya need to look beyond what you are feeling; sometimes ya need to face your fears; and sometimes you have to have faith that things will fall into place and work out.

With that thought in mind, I took all the helium balloons into the backyard and snipped the ribbon of each one and watched as each balloon danced into the sky.  I watched them bobbing around in the breezy sky until they were just shiny specs, like twinkling stars as the sun reflected on the silver orbs.

May sound silly, but as I released the balloons, with it I released much  of my fears and somehow feel at peace....things will turn out the way they are supposed to....I will trust that He will guide us to that end.

May you have a blessed day.
