The high dive.




“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It took me all summer to jump off the high dive at Gladstone Community pool the summer of '93. I finally worked up the courage to climb the steps, hold my noise and jump but I only did it once. After the atomic wedgie I decided I did not need to do that again, EVER. I am not hasty at when it comes to adventurous activities. I need to witness someone else do it, then I have to think about it, after all of this I will commit. Cautious by nature but the need for experiences has always driven my decisions. I have been wanting to make this journey for almost two years. I have been dreaming about this, now it is "go time", be bold, do it.
