I am on the brink, and the old fear excitement, excited fear, fearful excitement is cramping my belly and tightening my throat, making me feel as if I am about to take off and fly.

I am on the brink, a new adventure awaits to terrify and delight me. There are obstacles I will overcome. Problems I will solve. Frustrations I will wave aside.

I am on the brink and any minute now I will burst and bubble in ebulliant laughter and take the first step.
