it never leaves

It doesn't. The rush that is. Of life and adventure and specifically today of my first sky dive. I haven't done my second jump, YET. But I will. And I'm sure you will get to hear all about it blog world.
The reason I speak of this again is because Alesha asked me to bring my dvd of my dive into work today cause she hasn't seen it. So, I just watched it, again...and it's back. The rush. It's so cool to have it captured on dvd. Perhaps I can figure out how to put it on myspace and I'll update here later. Sound good? fab.
I guess today I just feel VERY much alive. And I wanted to share it. The feeling. The reminders.
Skydive.
Climb a mountain.
Swim a raging sea.
Tell someone you love them.
Hug your mom and dad.
Say your sorry.
Ride a bull.
Sing kareoke.
Dance.
Don't settle.
Taste the fruits of the earth and indulge.
Wake up early to watch your god son go off to his first day of pre-school.
Laugh til you pee.
Listen to those older than you and learn.
Listen to those younger than you and grow.
Stop and smell the roses or daisies or fresh baked bread.

Elenor Rossevelt once said,
"The purpose of life is to live it,
to taste experience to the utmost,
to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."

So today, Live life to the fullest. Reach out and open your arms wide and embrace the one and only life you've got.
Kristen OVER AND OUT
