TESTING THE WATER

There's something to be said for testing the water by submerging the big toe. I prefer the instant total immersion technique. It's a shock to the system, but oh what a rush. There's another side benefit to the dunk method. At the point when the dunkers body has become accustomed to the cold water and is enjoying a brisk swim, the toe dipper is up to his ankles, cringing at each step and dreading the eventual meeting between the frigid water and his groin. On the other hand the toe dipper is able to ake the decision, based on his digital insertion, whether or not to take the plunge. He can ask the plunger how the water feels, but all plungers worth treir salt are able to silence their chattering teeth and respond with the ever popular "It's great once you get used to it." The toe dipper can weigh the pros and cons, evaluate the benefits and generally analyze the damn thing to death.
Here's the point of the story. All of us, including the plunger, know what it's like not to do, not to jump in, not to take the risky option and not to expose ourselves to the possibility of defeat, failure and a host of I told yo so's. The plunger may lose a few battles along the way but dreams can only come true when they're given free reign to happen. Some level of risk is usually necessary. In my case it's the simple act of having a face book page,writing a blog and generally trying to take advantage of the technology that's second nature to todays youth.
I'm jumping in now. It's probably colder than a well diggers ass and there may be sharks lurking just below the surface but, what the hell, I've never done this before. It just might be a blast. Who knows, the grass just might be greener on the other side.
