One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing on the 5 story high diving platform at the edge of a Hawaiian cliff building the nerve to jump. Cheering in the sunrise of the new year on a Mexican beach with a group of friends. And doing it again two years later with many of those same friends. Skiing fresh Aspen powder through and between the trees in a dead silent noonday snowfall. Singing the Australian National Anthem in a blind Fog at the lighthouse at the Easternmost point of Australia at 2:00 AM. Talking to one another calmly to distract from the jellyfish stings as we waited 20 extra minutes for the dive boat to pick us up after a cold rainy day dive off of Koh Pi Pi Thailand. Drinking fruit smoothies and talking for hours during torrential downpours on Roatan Nicaragua.
