What life's all about

It has been a pretty good weekend for me. I had to work Friday, but it wasn't that bad because I got paid, that makes all your hard work worth it. Today I finally got to sleep past seven, woke up feeling great. Have you ever had those days when you just wake up and say to yourself, "this is going to be a good day" well that's how it was for me.

I woke up feeling good, after lunch, my brother-in-law and I went fishing on a local lake. In my last blog I said I wanted to buy a new rod and reel, well I bought one. I was very excited to try it out. I got my line on it, hook, and my bait, all new reels have to be dialed in to the way the user likes it. We get to the spot we wanted to fish, my first cast was what I like to call a "birds nest" because all the line just bundles up together. I start pulling out the line, get the backlash out and start reeling.

When I get all the slack out of my line, I realize I have something, it's either a fish or a bunch of grass. It's usually grass so I start reeling it in likes it is grass, then all of a sudden a fish breaks the water and I finally realize I have an actual fish. So on my first cast of the day, with the first cast of my new rod I catch a pretty good fish.

Today has just been one of those good days that I wish I could have more of. My good weekend should continue tomorrow. I'm going to wake up, go to church, praise God, come home and spend the day with my family and might find a little time to get some homework in. Maybe...

This is what life's all about, enjoying the little things and making sure you never take life to seriously.
