balloons

Today I realized JUST how much I love:

driving with the window down

sunglasses

and 

balloons.

Being confined to a room all day 

in front of a computer screen, 

with a window that doesn't open, 

makes you appreciate the 5 hours a day 

You actually get to spend out of the office.

Today as I got in the car after a long day's work,

I rolled down the window, 

blasted one of my favorite songs,

and put on my sunglasses

As I was driving home,

I took Freedom Boulevard,

and to my surprise 

the street was lined with balloons.

IMMEDIATELY

 a smile came across my tired face.

It was a sign of happiness

that made me not want to just give up

my 5 hours of life before I go to bed.

I love balloons,

they make me happy,

they can transport ANYONE's mind

back to their childhood

where they had no care in the world,

no angry patients, no alarms, 

no stress filled job,

no bills, no idling fax machines,

where the only worry was 

which toy they were going to play with.

I don't know what it is 

about those colored helium filled circles

that dance around the air,

but they are, 

to me, 

a sign of hope,

life,

and most of all,

happiness

I hope you all had a day full of balloons.

...............and THAT'S a sip of Livi's Lemonade! :)
