T...is for trust

When you are repelling down a waterfall in a tropical rainforest (whaaa? I know, right??? I giggle even being able to type that. So surreal. That picture over there? That little person at the very top of the waterfall? That's me.) you put your butt in the seat, lean back on that harness, and just trust.

You say to the harness, the guys who tied it, the ropes, the rock, the water, you say "I trust you." You say to fate and God and the Universe - even if just for these few moments - "I trust you and I know that I am going to be okay."

So when that feeling of comfort settles over you, and you trust that you really are gonna' be okay...that's when the real fun begins. There is no fear. There is only fun and adventure.

How can I get THAT all the time so that I can feel that way about my life? Just sit in the seat of my life and trust that I'm gonna' be okay. To hell with fear. To hell with...whatever. I want the adventure.
