the last 4 months in review

[freefalle 0]

Man, I was sitting tonight, reflecting on the last 4 months. April 1, I decided to do something I've wanted to do for a long time and just couldn't bring my self to do. I did something just for ME. I quit a job I didn't really like. Packed everything I owned and moved to indiana for the summer. In the last 4 months, I have learned so much about myself, who I am and what I want. I learned the true value of friendship, I learned my own self worth. Who I am is not extrapolated from this sport, but it is deep inside me. I learned that I am a good person and that I have alot to offer others and I can be a positive infulence on those around me. I learned that I am intelligent, that I am strong and that I am successful. In the last 4 months I got a coach rating, tandem ratings on 4 different rigs, I have had several pictures published in different magazines, all very cool but even more importantly, I moved back to florida and have continued to build an AWESOME relationship with my 5 year old son, I finished my degree and I started nursing school. Today I got a new job and I'm doing tandems on the weekends. I awake each day feeling better about myself, who I am. I like myself, and I am proud of what I've done with and in my life. I've had the chance to meet alot of people on this DZ along the way, some of you became friends, some of you simply drifted on, some of you called me on my own stupidity when it was needed, and for that I am grateful. but all of you have left a lasting impression on me. Thanks. Thats all I have to say about that......

I wondered what you were up to...now I know.

Congrats. When you finally find "yourself" it is such an amazing feeling.

At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

That's awesome. Life is better when you not only pick a direction, but then follow it. And time with your kids is priceless. It's so freeing to see the world for the first time all over again.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)
