I went skydiving last weekend with a few of my girlfriends and I have to say, I can't believe I actually stepped out of a perfectly good airplane!!! It was truly an act of letting go and putting my faith in God (and my tandem instructor). Ya, I know, it was only tandem... but either way I was still freefalling for about a minute from 13,000 feet!
It's funny because when someone would say "I'd love to go skydiving" or something like that...I would always say "me too, or I'd do that". Although, I don't think I really ever thought I'd get the opportunity.
All I can say is becareful what you wish for because you might just have to put your money where you mouth is! I am so glad I did!
Things I want to do before I die...

That is SO cool! I love that you did that and I'm sure it is liberating. Thank you for sharing how it felt - I would love to hear more of how it affected your psyche:)

I agree. A perfectly good airplane. I am slowly knocking things off my "to do before I die" list myself. I will continue to pray for the courage to face some of those things. One of the things on my list is to live in another country for a while. That doesn't look good though, I love my life here. I want to travel, learn to ride a motorcycle, learn spanish, I'd love to learn something so well that I'd get a chance to teach it to someone else. Like photography or something. Sometimes if I don't aknowledge that I want to try these things, I forget that I want them at all and I just keep going through life. I piggy-back on other people's dreams and get the satisfaction that I did it too (I can't say that skydiving was on my list at first, but I am SO glad I tried it). Maybe the lesson is to be open to new experiences and they will appear. Hmmm.
