Pedestals.....




Eventually everyone placed on a pedestal falls off....or jumps off. 

In some cases they do both. They start slipping and then think "if I'm going down, lets just do a swan dive"! 

Maybe its the pressure of people's unrealistic expectations....maybe its a character flaw, maybe its just how things are. For some reason people like to see others fall.... and it's much more interesting if its a fall of some distance. 

My problem is I've never liked heights. But anytime I've tried to tell people that they just pat me on the back and reassure me that its ok.......there's nothing to be afraid of. 

So, still not fully understanding how I got here (on the pedestal that is,  not the falling off part)..... I've decided to crawl down. 

Not very attractive I know. Slipping, falling or jumping would be much more glamorous. But I can't for the life of me figure out how else to get down without making a mess, and good southern girl I am...we just can't have that!
