I went skydiving for the first time, and conquered all my fears!

A year ago, I was afraid to get on an airplane, and wouldn't go on roller coasters. Recently, I decided to change my whole attitude toward life. I went skydiving yesterday in California's beautiful wine country. At 13,000 feet (attached to an experienced diver), I jumped off the plane, and felt total peace, and a rush of the sense of what makes life worth living! It's interesting how something so small - in the grand scheme of things - can make such a big difference in one's attitude toward life.

I highly recommend skydiving for anyone physically able! You will absolutely not regret it. Once you jump from the plane, you'll leave all fear behind!

1. Now that is cool.

Congratulations on conquering a fear!

I'm afraid of flying, but I can't picture myself jumping out of a perfectly good plane. I guess if you're strapped to another jumper, there isn't much choice, eh? :)
