Balloon Quote by Jill McCorkle
““She tried to teach her children to be positive--to dream but to also do it with their feet on the ground. If you let loose that balloon, you will lose sight of it, she said. The best way to enjoy it is to hold tight to the string and plant your feet on a good solid path.””
