Finally

I made the call today and have signed up to skydive. Just calling the skydiving center was scary! If I was that afraid just to call . . . oh what have I gotten myself into? But I really want to do this for my book, so no more excuses! The date is set for Sunday, November 15, weather permitting.

I decided months ago to continue my idea of doing something new every week into next year. This 2009 challenge has gone by so quickly, led to so many changes in my life, and I'm still loving this challenge to the point where I'm not wanting to stop. So there will be a sequel to my book as I do something new every week of the year for a second year in a row. As far as skydiving is concerned, I could say, "Well, I'll just skydive next year; after all, I can use it for my second book." But what if I decide to do a third book? Or a fourth? I can't just keep putting off jumping out of a perfectly good airplane; it will only grow scarier and feel more out of reach for me if I do. So I set the date, and it is in less than two weeks. Wow, this is not easy! But it wouldn't be rewarding if it was.
