Diving Lessons
Ah yes, I am most definitely loving this feeling of euphoria. The sun is like a lovely, warm heating blanket flowing over my skin. The lackadaisical breeze gently blows on the skin that i have exposed. I must jump up to the experience mounds of soft, white sand in between my toes. This tiny movement causes goosebumps to appear, as if they were on command. Only slightly do i feel the tiny particles shake down to the ground. Down to the place of origin-the beach. How i love the crisp, quiet ringing of the beach. Ringing? What the heck is ringing doing on my beach? My beautiful beach is disintegrating and my open eye lid observes a snoopy alarm clock waiting to be slapped. This is it. Once more, with feeling, i ask myself if i have lost my mind. i am going back to school and this time i must learn. I must absorb the knowledge of the career i have finally chosen and do a mind meld with the stuff that is already in my brain. Who really know what lies dormant in there? It has been so long since i memorized any really useful knowledge. I am scare. Not intimidated by the warning light flashing in my gut, just scared. Two children to get off to school every morning, one baby to diaper, feed and keep on a schedule, hours of homework and a household to maintain. I am taking the big dive. Can i do it? Yes, i can!!!

Gorgeous, Megan! I love the use of the dive/beach metaphor! That's exactly what I mean by paying attention to the language of this blog.
