Fishing

I truly have lost my ability to hold a tight line. I have not been fishing the river for spawning runs nor have I even ventured to the Roanoke River to fish the Shad or Rock fish. I released today that I have truly been missing out as I walked into the garage and heard my fishing rods callin my name. They are so sad! For a woman who has more fishing equipment then expensive cloths or shoes I am truly ashamed. Our boat has been out two times, once for its yearly opening and cleaning and the other to fish for white perch but I was unable to make that boat ride. I have got to get my grove back fellas and I don't know how to achieve this. Even my pens and paper have called my name "Debbie, come write a good fishing article, Debbie some words please". How can I give words when I am so down about not being able to participate and do the things I have loved to do and held a passion for since childhood? Well I think those fishing rods had the best call today when I looked at them and stood there as I admired some great rods, expensive reels and I said "Dag done girl, let's do this". So I am gonna give it my best. I have been so down and maybe I just need to do thIs. I need to let some things go and just grab those rods and go and find my tight line hold once again. So keep me in some good, happy, long time memory moments and help me to uplift my self and push. I know what I need to do, have to do but I get to find that thirst for the water, the waters I have travelsed, drifted, and spent so many hours with for a very long time, the same waters I found my self in and became comfortable exploring, the same water which provide food for me and my family. I know if the rods and reels are calling me for attention then I need to make this an action and not talk. I have relied on these waters for not just survival but for keeping me true to me. I have been good to the water by being an advocate in keeping it clean. I know the healing properties in water, fishing, spending time outdoors and appreciating nature at its very best. Now my question "Can I trust this water to help me, show me its beauty, lift my heart and health issues and take me along its many miles that stretch from Weldon all the way out to the Ocean and as far as I have gone out in the gulf? I need to trust this water and let it heal me, let it wash away my troubles as it has done countless times over the many years, I need to let these waters j
It's consume my heart and my soul and dazzle and amaze me with their beauty. That is exactly what I need to do.
