My youngest son would want to go with me though....

My oldest brother learned to skydive in the army. I can still see his wistful smile describing it to us around the kitchen table when he was home on leave...

Now, I'd like to start writing and maybe write a book someday. What's holding me back is inspiration and energy. Maybe when I finish with my classes I'll give it more thought.
Wiz, as a single girl, I have no concept of getting "permission" from anyone else when I want to do something, so please forgive my ignorance here; what is DH's problem with you doing something you genuinely want to try doing? You wouldn't try to make him do it too, right? Jumpmasters take very good care of their novice clients, and let's say you twisted your ankle, well, okay, you won't die and it will be a pain for a bit, but hey! you went skydiving for cryin' out loud!

If you have something on your heart that consitutes a book, you'll write it, I have no doubt! You are a driven, dynamic woman and there is no reason to miss your opportunity!
