Seventeenth Stop: A Beautiful Saturday


     This Saturday was an absolutely beautiful day.  You could see the Volcanos across the Bay.  I don't think I have seen a bluer sky that made the white clouds just pop.  It looked like cotton in the sky.  It was perfect for a workout looking over the lagoon and bay with the a jog around the Airport.

     After a great workout, I got the opportunity to go fishing with my Kiddo and her Family.  We took the boat out to a little nook across the lagoon.  It was so peaceful and calm.  The beauty was unreal and left me speechless.     Once we got settled and I got the basics of fishing,  I was able to bring in a fish.   It was on the older side though and was close to bellies up.  I just got worse as time went one... needless to say, it is a very good thing I do not have to depend on fishing to survive because I would be far from surviving.  I will be honest, my hook ended up in the tree. Kiddo's sister pretty much summed it up when she says, "It's ok it is your first time."    

     After this beautiful day I was reminded that there is so much  more to life and that there is so much beauty.  No matter where we are, we have to take the time to enjoy.  There is so much more to life than the hustle and bustle that I am use to.  To everyone in the hustle and bustle-- pull over!  Unbuckle your seat belt and enjoy your view,  but stay tuned for the next stop.
