On Top of the World with You

Today is just one of those days when I feel I'm on top of the world! even if the sun is hidden behind the clouds ~ “If you aren’t going all the way, why go at all?"  ~ Joe Namath I will go there with you..  I will give myself to Love  the way Love gave itself for me...  Somewhere... something incredible is waiting to be known...   Take a breath.  The world may get confusing at times but rest assured, we'll be okay.  ~

As we celebrate our birthday month, each team showcased their own uniquely-designed  pabitins. The game involves kids who gather under the  pabitin and as the  pabitin  is lowered and raised with a string or a pulley,  the children are to grab hold of the goodies/ toys/ candies, etc. I remember one time when we had a party, my younger cousins  (who were still around 3-6 years old at that time) thought that we were just trying to amuse them. It was so funny because they just looked up at it and tried to touch the goodies but didn't bother to grab it. They thought the objective of the game  is simply to be able to reach and touch it. Oh it would have been more fun if we invited kids to join our par...
