Sonya doesn’t fear getting hurt, looking stupid, or wasting time. She pulled all the cushions off the couch, piled them up, and started jumping off. Over and over again. Mental note: Don’t overthink the risks. Take a leap of faith more often.

Usually, Sonya landed where she expected. When she didn’t, it wasn’t so bad that she didn’t want to jump again. In fact, couch jumping might become a favorite pasttime. Also: Drex came home from Boston this afternoon. He’ll stay for two days, then leave for Dublin. Tomorrow, he’ll take the girls while I go jumping.
