something uplifting

Hey, I recently jumped from a plane....yes! It was in the paper because before I did it, I had my students write to the prompt "should Mrs. H. jump from a plane on Saturday?" I got lots of responses. Then I did the jump and showed the video the following Monday. The kids didn't know I was really going to do it. The local news got the story. The article came out this week. My next adventure of celebrating my new life....hike to Half Dome in Yosemite on July 9th. I'm training for it now. I am making some smaller hikes on Saturdays and I'm working out to build endurance. this is going to be a very hard hike for someone my age but I'm going to give a good try. Christy

Wow, jumping from a plane is something that one older man and I tease each other about several times a month. We tease things like "are you ready? When are we going?" Both he and I are extremely afraid of heights and we know this is a harmless way to tease each other. We both know it will never happen for us. I see no reason to jump out of a perfectly good plane (ha ha). Congratulations for accomplishing such an astonishing goal. You go girl. Keep setting and making those goals. Melody
