Up Up and Away
Imagine a beauty of a mountain.
Imagine a perfect sunrise.
Pretty !! right ?
Ok.
Now add to your vision a very large field, a couple thousand or so happy human beings and oh, say, about seventy or so bright, colorful hot air balloons
& you will have yourself a morning of delight and a day that will remain in your heart for a very long time.
It’s called the Colorado Springs Labor Day Lift Off and I was lucky enough to have that be my yesterday & btw, if you ever get the chance to experience ? take it, because this is Pretty. Awesome. Stuff.
Fantastic was the atmosphere as one by one, these lighthearted floating machines took their turn and their time to sail off into that infinitely blue sky.
It was a slow-mo version of ahhhhhh and ohhhhh and weeeee, for sure
& the coordination behind all that needs to be done to launch those balloons and this event seriously blows my mind
& once again, I am cheerfully reminded of the power of people.
Unitedly, determinedly, working together to get things accomplished, to fulfill that dream, to make others merry
& if that isn’t the best thing ever ?
It ’twas .
It really was
Hey, if every day and everyone could be just a teeny tiny, itsy bitsy, portion of my absolutely lovely, lighter than air yesterday ?
!! WOW !!
Imagine that.
