Don't Let It Touch The Floor

How many of you remember hitting the balloon in the air trying to keep it from hitting the ground? The game starts the moment someone kicks or hits a balloon in air. Then someone else puts their leg or hand out so it doesn't touch the ground. As the balloon goes higher in the air the challenge and excitement towards the game increases. I've seen people dive across a room, teams formed, a combination of volleyball and soccer plays used to keep the balloon from hitting the floor. There isn't one person no matter what the age is that wants to let the balloon go down.

The balloon game - just one of life's simple pleasures. It's funny how something so simple can leave a lasting memory that carries on from generation to generation.

I don't think there's a child or adult out there that hasn't hit the balloon and tried to keep it from hitting the floor. My question is.. who started this?

Lies and Secrets

I don't want to say that I work really hard to be a good person, because that would imply that's not the true essence of who I am. The way I live my life is simple - honesty, loyalty, trust, and prayer. If you live your life based on lies, I don't trust anything that you say or do. It's a personal thing. When you grow up in an environment based on secrets and lies, you value and respect honesty. I had the honesty conversation with one of my granddaughters last night when my grandson blurted out some things that are going on in their home. Immediately my granddaughter reprimanded him stating that they're not suppose to tell people their parents business. I'm not going to lie, when she said that to him, the flashbacks started coming. I calmly explained to her that adults should never ask children to keep their secrets or lies, and if they live in fear of their business being told, maybe they should be living their life right, because I'm good with people
