Never take anything for granted.
Benjamin Disraeli
This morning I looked out the window and spotted 11 balloons. I almost said, "Ho hum" but shook myself saying, "Don't take these special moments for granted." As a result, I spent a delightful half hour with my coffee watching the dance of the balloons.
And as a special treat, one landed in the nearby field. It was exciting to watch as the ground crew ran about, yelling instructions to one another, to make for a perfect landing. I was so glad that I took the time to enjoy the balloons.
Time is precious and I have enjoyed the weeks spent with my parents. Their vacation seemed to end very quickly as we kept running right up until this afternoon with a trip into the town to buy DVDs to back-up all the great movies and photos taken over the past five weeks. Tonight they began their long trek back to the homeland. Safe journey. Ma'asalama (Go in Peace).
How appropriate to enjoy the balloons in the morning....a prelude to the afternoon journey.
