With all of the insanity we see on social media these days, it’s a blessing when we see something that supports the work we are doing in our program (and it’s nots specifically 12-Step related).  Enjoy.

“A teacher gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it, and throw it in the hallway. The teacher then mixed all the balloons. The students were then given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon.

At that point, the teacher told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes, everyone had their own balloon.

The teacher said to the students: “These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people’s happiness, we’ll find ours too.”

May your day be filled with happiness. ❤️

I got your balloon.”
