Felix Baumgartner, this dude has some mighty big huevos. 24.5 miles up in the air and he jumps into the unknown and the history books. I just took a bigger leap.
Stepped outside of my comfortable capsule of the last 21 years and will free fall for the rest of my life. No nets, no wires or mirrors, no parachute, no check lists, no pressurized space suits. Just me and whatever I can make do to ensure a safe and gentle landing sometime far (hopefully) in the future.
Few hard feelings, few regrets, mostly disappointment. Hope rising for health and happiness to all involved. Especially the kids, they are young and resilient after all.
A chapter closed, a new one starting today. All included in the book of my life.
Thanks to all of my real friends for sharing this difficult path with me, for the understanding and support. And their promise of still more beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
They say the most difficult step of any journey is the first one. I’ve taken it and there is no looking back now. Only looking ahead, seeking truth and beauty and happiness, its all around. And change. Anticipating what is next without really knowing what it may be. Eager to meet the challenges and continue to strive to leave this world a better place. That is living after all.
