FMF: Dive

Whew, today is a big day for me. It was my day for the In Your Words blog hop, which has been SO MUCH FUN....not only working on my project, and getting all the fun comments and being featured on Madame Samm's post, but also seeing everyone else's projects and the creativity and personality in each project has been great. I've gotten some fun inspiration for future projects too!

And, it's also time for Five Minute Fridays! Like I said, it's a big day!

Five Minute Fridays is such a fun group of writers around the internet and world, who come together each week to write their thoughts about a word. In five minutes. This week's word is Dive...

Dive.
If you think about it, to dive usually means to have an incredible amount of courage. Jumping head-first anywhere is not for the faint of heart.
I've never been able to dive......like, the water kind. For that matter, I can't do a cartwheel either. I think the two are possibly related.
But, there are plenty of ways in which I dive. I dove into MOPS leadership this year and it has been a huge blessing. I dove into this Blog Hop thing and it has been so much fun. I have dove into friendships and other things that can be scary and each time, I find myself surfacing with a huge feeling of thankfulness and elation.
Thankfulness for the courage to make the dive in the first place. Elation at what I have gained.
It doesn't take much to throw oneself off the cliff of comfort, but that doesn't mean it's easy. There are things even now that have been on my heart and mind, things I feel I should do, but I haven't made the move, I haven't dived. I should. 
Is there something in your life you need to dive into too? Shall we do this thing together? It is always easier to do it with someone beside you!
