You cannot change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sail.

She Flew

In May, our ward had an auction to raise money for the youth. One of the items up for bid was an introductory flight lesson. I bid, I won, I flew! Holly and all the Woodlings graciously escorted me to the Provo airport in the early hours of the day. I felt giddy with excitement, concerned about the size of my derriere when I saw the size of the seat in the plane, and thrilled when we gently lifted off the ground. The pilot-Rich-was a hoot. He let me fly more than I had hoped for and answered all my questions easily. We flew over Utah Lake and over our neighborhood in Lehi. I had forgotten to mention to Nate to come outside, but a few neighbors actually did see the little plane circling above. I loved it, I keep trying to figure out a way I could do this every day!

Looks like you had a good time. You could become a pilot. There aren't many out there. I did a report on it in my Women's Studies class back in college.

Go for it.
