Jump starting my 60's literally.

So, as I turned 60 in 2023, I decided I needed to kickstart the adventures to prove to myself and the world that I was a strong and courageous woman I decided to jump out of a perfectly sound plan and plumet to the earth from 17000 feet.

It felt like the best idea I had ever had. Until... they opened the doors at 15000 feet and people seemed to just drop like dead bodies from the open door of the plane. I held my breath as it was now my turn.

The doors shut and I was the last one still one the plane. I turned to the lovely man I was strapped to and asked how come we didn't go, I thought maybe I had died of fright already and was unaware of it. He said Oh you bought the higher jump.... Of course I did, how bloody cleaver of me. Up we went and finally the doors opened again and now I was terrified but determined. I dangled my feet over the edge and shut my eyes (as we all know if you shut your eye's, it's not really happening) and I was out with my guts in my mouth until it caught up with the speed of the fall.

It was incredible and scary and one of the best gifts my daughter had ever given me. Once I got over the family, I gave a wave bravely then landed gently.

My person said how was it? as I sat shaking on the ground, are you going to go again. I said hell no one and done. lol My son JB said he would like to do it, so maybe one more, maybe on my 70th.
