creating the perfect day.....

sometimes the day your having just sucks. like today. nothing works at work, the fiancee is triple nuts, and the muffler just went. maybe your like me and the entire last week and a half has been crap like that.

So in my head I have decided to create the perfect day.

I am sitting at the lake side, a bluebird day but not too sunny, just off the shoreline under a nice tree in front of the cabin. I have my 4" sucker minnow as far out there as I can throw it, under a new slip bobber on my new fenwick rod and phlueger reel.

I can hear a loon just out of eyesight.

I have to have a hamburger too. A biggin'. with sharp cheddar, BACON, a little lettuce, a slice of tomato from one of those gigantic ones my grandpa used to grow in his backyard, spicy mustard and garlic pickles. Yes!

I am not a beer drinker myself, so insert your favorite here. Personally I would love a 1919 root beer or one of those tommyknocker lime cream sodas.

halfway through my third bite, the slip bobber disappears.......






Can't wait to get the hell out of here today.

Mark, I can definitely I.D. with your day,especially with the fiancee,(now my ex),I HAVE HAD MANY OF THEM OVER THE PAST 4YRS.The daydreaming works fine....but for me it is not enough.....I am in the process of loosing my second house in less than three years to my DEVIOUS DEMON EX..Not only does she want the house(which i've been out of since December)..last wed. I was in court, she is looking for more money,besides the house....she is attempting to destroy my dog breeding(akitas) besides my wallet ...I do not care about the money,It is the dogs that are hurting me,I have much time invested in my dogs,yes they make me money but more than anything they bring me happiness,I have no children,but my dogs are treated as such...much love there.......For me what I do to change the attitude in my bad days,is daydream and than DO IT...I PUT EVERYTHING ASIDE,AND TAKE CARE OF ME.......I spent too many years worrying about others & doing for others, now it's about me,If want to spend money I will, even if I don't have it,I play tounament softball,If buying new equiptment makes me happy so be it.....these days it has been buying airguns that makes me happy,For me the way I see it...LIFE IS JUST TOO SHORT TO BE MISERABLE....TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED...(I LOST FAMILY AT 9/11)...After that I for most part changed my outlook on life...I WOULD LIKE TO THINK FOR THE BETTER......I treat everyone I cross paths with as I want to be treated...It is like the WIZZARD OF OZ...Dorothy always had the ability to take herself where she wanted to be,WELL SO DO WE!....I hope sharing some of my junk with you, makes your day feel like that day at THE LAKE!.........IT ALWAYS GETS BETTER.....TRUST ME!

I plan to do the exact thing once we get open water (follow up on my day dreaming)........except I can't get tomatoes from grandpa since we lost him this last September. But we still have grandma, and we visit whenever we can, and make sure her baking gets a good home

we rented a cabin again for a week in june. hope the fishing is good.

sorry to hear about your divorce. sometimes they can really get vicious.
