1. Jumping

   Jumping or leaping is a form of locomotion or movement in which an organism or non-living mechanical system propels itself through the air along a ballistic trajectory. Jumping can be distinguished from running, galloping, and other gaits where the entire body is temporarily airborne by the relatively long duration of the aerial phase and high angle of initial launch. Some animals, such as the kangaroo, employ jumping as their primary form of locomotion, while others, such as frogs, use it only as a means to escape predators. Jumping is also a key feature of various activities and sports, including the long jump, high jump, and show jumping.

   More than likely within a social circle of some sort. I don't foresee Melinda jumping on social media or a dating app to find her next person, her friends will know people who they will begin to say, 'You know what, you should hang out with this person or you should go and just spend time with them. Or this person would be interested in the work you're doing.' And that is more than likely the way that she will find even just male friends or dating when that comes to that time.

Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.
