I went fishing today . . .

and it was pretty much amazing.

Fishing is terribly addicting. Oh, and I have realized (once again) that I am so blessed with a wonderful family and friends.  My dad made absolute sure we had all the fishing supplies we needed (including going out of his way to buy us a couple of bamboo fishing poles and thoroughly explain fishing techniques to me). My friends are lovely. I could never ask for better ones. And I live in probably the most beautiful place in the world, which it sadly took me nearly twenty years to realize. I pray I never lose sight of how incredibly blessed I am. We must have caught (and released) about a dozen fish (including a puffer fish!). And we hooked a large moray eel several times, but it escaped our grasp. Next time, Mr. Moray. Next time.

Thank you, Lord. I am so blessed.
