Be the Balloon

“Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon.”― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

“Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” – Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Small gestures.
Tiny steps.
Little by little.
Stacking.
Momentum.
Building.
Creating.
Multiplying.
Nurturing.
Blooming.
Day by day.
Choose your attitude, approach, perspective.
Every single day.
Complain and remain.
Praise and be raised.
It all adds up or diminishes.
Our thoughts that lead to inaction or action.
Stagnation or growth.
Choose action, trying, participating, gratitude, generosity, kindness, grace, love.
Sideliners, armchair quarterbacks, critics, spectators, cynics, balloon poppers a plenty.
Be the balloon, not the pin.
Colorful, bold, life-giving, joyful, kind, and irritatingly delightful.
It spills into the world and always washes back over the giver.
Be the balloon.

“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” – Proverbs 17:22
