Anniversary Flight

October 25, 2008


A flight to celebrate one year of skydiving, even if it WAS only a few times over the past year. Here, not only do I seal this enchanting year with one more flight, I reminisce on the others that had led to this very moment.


A year ago, a southern star had so touched my heart that I could not help but follow it. Once indifferent to the land it came from, my heart grew more and more tender toward this star... and the distant land, and I delighted in seeing it the 3 times it had appeared.


Today, this southern star was not there, and I was reminded that some are only here for a season. However, there are many more stars to follow, dreams to follow, and possibly a calling to follow. Maybe the southern star I had so counted on being there was only meant to guide me until the dream it encouraged was well secured within my heart.


Today, I had a new skydive instructor who was more than happy to share my Anniversary Flight. He was as wonderful to me as my previous instructors were, ensuring that my sky high adventure was the utmost fulfilling. In fact, I think his rowdines was even a bit contagious... lol!


Here's to you, Albert! : )
