Fishing Everywhere In Midlife

Fishing Everywhere:

Fishing everywhere in midlife is on my mind. Midlife causes you to think of how far you have come and where you want to go. I have been fishing and camping since I was knee-high to a grasshopper as the old saying goes.

Dad took his family on a trip every summer. My best memories of dad include watching a huge fish caught on the tiny ugly stick, that he would not share with Anyone. You were daughter or son dad had you bait your own hook.

Anytime I am around a large amount of water, I think about the fish I could be catching. I think about the challenges and fun of the fights. I also think about the wind blowing through your hair as the captain heads down the water.

Fishing Everywhere In Midlife Does Not Always Happen:

In 2015 I woke up and went to sleep for five beautiful days with this view. I even called about chartering a boat, I so desperately wanted to have an amazing fight. No fishing happened though, the man in my life needed to stay close to home. As I stated in the blog post Water Everywhere – I wonder if I will return to the water.
