We may not all get to fly in space, but we can fly far above our circumstances. We can fly so high that we look down on the trouble that seems to try and overtake us. Let's see ourselves flying high above anything that attempts to hurt, hinder or crush our dreams! Let's fly high above sickness, disease, critical family and friends and those who seem to never be satisfied with our existence. We are here to stay - fly high above!
Will you see yourself flying high above?
