September 11th, I think that just about done it for me last year. Things were so manic up until then and for the record, just carried on that way until we broke up for Christmas. I lost my cousin in the terror attack on the Twin Towers and although I think I’d only met him twice in my entire life, I don’t think I’d actually got to grips with just how the whole affair affected me.
The weird thing about the time up until Christmas was that most of us (although seriously distressed about the whole September 11th situation) just plodded onwards. I certainly did, although deep down, I feel that something on that day cracked a change in me. I managed to get away for New Year with the family and just sat in the sun thinking. And right out the blue it hits you! Life is to short!
Yep we’ve heard it many a time and have probably used the phrase to often to remember, but have you ever thought it through and let it smack you hard and fast until you consider doing something about it!
Now don’t get me wrong, I haven’t turned into some 2002 born again-happy clapper or anything like that, what I am saying, is that things are going to be different this year. No longer will my family or my fishing (although not always in that order) play second fiddle to my work.
So what’s my point? Who am I to waffle on?
To me it’s now simple “I’m gonna Do a f**k lot more of what I enjoy from now on and for Me THAT’S FISHING”
