Ok, I am sad that all the posts are gone but I must tell you, I am glad ya'll are still here!

Anyway, I posted this last night but I just have to say it again...I did a Heroic deed!

I've been working hard on myself to get used to jumping off the low diving board and can even get myself to dive in head first now. I was proud.

Then I turn my sights to the 15' high dive! I know I might be crazy for wanting to do something only a child with no sense of mortality would do, it's just I want to push myself...to prove to myself I can live well. I have even been to the top of the high dive and turned back down the ladder because I was SCARED!

Well, last night I climbed to the top and stared at the end of the board and.....chickened out! LOL I didn't go back down the ladder but I stood there until I turned to the lifeguard and asked if I could sit down and scoot to the end? He giggled but nodded....SO THAT's what I did! Here I was sitting on the end of the high dive knowing I couldn't go back at that point and decided to just jump! Alright, it was a BUTT dive but I'll take that!!!

It was one of those roller coaster moments...I had to just put up my arms and say WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angela

You go girl Congrats on facing your fears
I hope you are very proud of yourself.!!!!!

Girl, I applaud you wanting to strive for a goal, but do you have to try and break your neck!! LOL!!! Butt first....it is already cracked so you can't hurt that too much!! HEE! HEE! Seriously, be careful. What is next, climbing Pike's Peak; running with the bulls in Spain! You crazy girl!! Really, all I can say is good for you! I don't have such lofty goals. Mine is something like....I'd like to be able to eat a piece of whole grain bread! Now isn't that a stinker!!

That is an awesome story, got me to smile. You go girl.

Congratulations on diving. Get some rest and keep diving.

lol you rock! I'm in awe.

Thanks guys!

Hey Nancy...ya, maybe Pikes Peak or Barcelona OR.....sky diving?? Yes I have a serious problem! AND if I tried to eat bread...whole grain or otherwise...I WOULD be a "stinker!" heheheheheh
