Write a wish... tie to a balloon... let it go

I have been thinking about this goal for awhile. But I’m not sure what to wish for. I will probably do this goal sometime next spring.

this Im gonna do on my 30th birthday. :D

My sister recently arrived home from a birthday party with a helium-filled balloon hence making this goal doable.

I wrote my wish on the balloon and let it go into the night sky. I watched on as it ascended higher and higher into the air, eventually disappearing behind the moonlit clouds. It was a bittersweet moment.

I read that the majority of helium-filled balloons will rise up to 8000 metres before expanding and subsequently bursting as a result of the decreasing atmospheric pressure. I suppose that’s the closest my wish will ever come to reaching the heavens.

i fancy doing this with my boyfriend, i rekon that would be quite romantic :)

I think it is worth doing…

I actually opted for balloons instead of flowers at my wedding. I had a dozen balloons and Hubby and each wrote 6 messages/ wishes. We released after the ceremony at dusk. A couple of my wishes have already come true but we have a lifetime together to accommodate the rest.

I think i’ll do that on new years day at 12:00 well new years….

On New Year’s of 2007 I went to a posh party with my newish boyfriend. The hostess had us write our wishes on cards and let them go out the window.

Mine floated two feet and got stuck in the outside rafters of the building. My boyfriend rescued it. I wished to have a husband, a home, a great job and a dog. Now, 23 months later, I’ve got it all!

I did this when I was in third or fourth grade, I think. Some kids lost their balloons in the trees. Never seen that balloon again. I think somebody was supposed to mail it back to me. Oh well. It was fun.

SO, my friend Jenne is coming over this Friday and I think that I’m going to talk her into doing this with me only with a dozen balloons instead of just one. =)
This will prove to be a fun weekend.
