Introductions
It has been 3 weeks since I made my first skydive. I'm sure I will look back on this month as one of the most positive times in my life. Since I started preparing to jump, my life has changed for the better in many ways. I am in the best shape I have ever been in. I exercise and eat better. I have lost 10 kilos. I fit into clothes that I bought years ago and have never worn.
I got rid of my television. I bought a bicycle. (Actually, I bought two.)
And, I learned to skydive.
I wish I had done this years ago, but I don't think I would have been able to.
Because I injured myself on my first skydive, I won't be jumping again for at least another month. I may never jump again. But I'm glad about what I have learned, about jumping, and about myself.
I have lost one friend. But I have met many new people.
I don't know where I want to go with skydiving. I'm taking it one step at a time. I doubt that I'll ever be a BASE jumper. But I am posting this here, because I would never have been able to jump, or even have had the idea to, without encouragement from some very supportive folks who regularly post here.
I want to thank you all.
