Welcome to my first blog post of my first blog ever!

Hot air balloons connect me to feelings of lightness and happiness. I’ve experienced riding in one and I love how light and free I felt.

I can’t ride some rides at Disneyland like the Astro Orbiter in Tomorrowland because it creates too much anxiety in me even though I know that I am perfectly safe. But I was never once scared on my real balloon ride even when we had a bumpy landing.

Instead of anxiety I felt joy and excitement. Instead of anxiety I experienced the peace and quiet of being above it all, the only sound being the psssss of the gas burner as we floated in the air.

Not everyone can ride in a hot air balloon but I hope that everyone has an experience that lifts them up as much as riding in a hot air balloon did for me.
