Jump

This mon­th’s NaBloPo­Mo theme is “Jump.” All the prompts have been cen­tered around that theme, but I haven’t yet used them. I’m going to play catch-up here.

What is the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear the word jump?
The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word “jump” is fam­i­ly lore which said I could not man­age to jump as a child. I tried and tried, but I just could­n’t get off the ground with­out some­thing to jump off of (I was fear­less then, though). ¹My mater­nal grand­fa­ther, Dad­dy Boots, said that my legs were so short the fam­i­ly should sue the city for build­ing the side­walks too close to my rear end. Maybe that’s one rea­son I’m just not ter­ri­bly excit­ed about this mon­th’s theme.

What is some­thing you recent­ly jumped into?
I jumped back into play­ing the ukulele, after some contemplation. 

How do you feel about start­ing new projects? and How do you feel about new peo­ple jump­ing into your life? and Do you need to look before you leap?
I’m not fear­less at this stage in my life. I def­i­nite­ly look before I leap, espe­cial­ly regard­ing bring­ing new peo­ple into my life. I don’t jump into projects, either, although I would prob­a­bly be more like­ly to do that if I had more mon­ey avail­able. I’m hop­ing to return to work soon and improve that sit­u­a­tion, at least.

What is some­thing you’d like to jump into if you had more time/money?
As I men­tioned in a recent post, I would try weav­ing. I might even try spinning.
