What is it that is truly the most important aspect of life to you!!! Is the most important thing in your life how much money you make? Is the most important thing in your life how much time you spend with those you love? Is it, the amount that you enjoy the things you do or how much you are loved by others? Whatever it is, try not to let that realization get lost in the day to day trials and tribulations of living, paying bills, dealing with emergencies and unpleasant surprises that life loves to throw in the path that leads to happiness. I think that at this time in my life, the most important thing to me is being the best husband, brother, son, uncle, friend and person that I can possibly be. Altruistic endeavors that benefit those I care about are providing me with an abundance of personal satisfaction and happiness and are helping me to grow intellectually, physically and spiritually!!!

I shall never forget it, the beauty and majesty of such an incredible view, and what a comfortable perch from which to enjoy it all. The balloon arose so smoothly you would scarcely know were rising into the sky if you did not have your eyes opened to see the ground moving away from you at an astonishing rate. I must do this again, for a much longer ride!!! I was up in the air for about an hour and we got as high as 1200 feet before descending… Wonderfully enjoyable!!!

and so I want to do something I’ve never done before. I’ll be getting up at 3:30 AM this morning to go for my first ride in a hot air balloon. I should have some wonderful pictures to share upon my return and a memory to last a lifetime… Very excited…
