So I decided to get up early one morning and head down to the lake. So I was out the door at 4 and at waters edge at 4:30. It was peaceful and quiet. It gave me time to reflect and just be thankful for moments like this. The water was lapping at the sand, the sun was about to come out from behind the ridge and the only sound to be heard was the gnats buzzing around my head!! Sometimes we all need quiet time alone to gather our thoughts and put things in perspective. In this picture, you can see the light diffuse through the fishing line from the top middle going across diagonally towards the water.
One thing is very evident at this time in my life! I need a magnifying glass with a lot of light to tie on my hooks!!!! It was way to dark to be able to see anything!!...where are my boys and their young eyes when you need them???!!! Ha!! I was praying that I didn't snag anything or catch anything that would break off my hook because I would have been waiting until the sun came out. As you can see there were others who were on the dock and had been there probably overnight.
So the morning started to break and there begans to be more signs of life. Just when you think that it couldn't be any better, a truck backed up and a couple of young bucks pulled a jet ski out of the back and started it up, breaking the peaceful solitude and my kumbaya moment!! They started racing up and down the beach in front of all us quickly replacing any thoughts of peace and quiet with pure contempt and hate. Mind you, I love the sound of people enjoying what nature has to give us but during the appropriate time. Am I getting to be an old craggy gizzer?.... I hope not, but you never know....I guess we'll see when Bear Lake comes around. So after awhile I decided it was time to go home. Life had been balanced, everything was good!! No fish!...but it wasn't fish that I was really after...... it was the experience!
I feel really good after moments like these and on the way home I turn up the tunes really high and sing to the songs that are playing not paying any bother to who's around me because I'm in the feel good zone! Hope you all get there every so often because it's a lot like 'Milk'....it does a body good!!! Until next time!!!..........
