It is not that I am afraid of heights.
But I was scared to climb this pole.
It was easy.
I wanted to jump right off like Morgan
and Kathi.
But I whimped out.
The view was beautiful.
I was flying—such fun—until . . .
I started worrying about the dismount.
“Easy. . .
No problem," I was told.
“Just run up the hill.”
“Nope, no one has ever broken a leg.”
But then, came the part that had me nervous.
“You may need to run backwards.”
“What?”
“You’ll see. It is no problem.”
And guess who came in backwards.
No graceful running up the hill like RaeJean.
I was hoping for something like Chariots of Fire.
But no broken leg either.
I am thankful that part was right.
