Last weekend my hubby and I went to our remote camp in the Maine wilderness with family. On the last morning, after having a nice weekend catching up with family, I got up with the sunrise with no one else awake on the pond except a few loons and the fish. I looked out the window and watched fish jump at bugs on the top of the water and decided to walk down to the pond(almost a lake) to try my luck. Not really a good idea to venture downhill to the dock by myself with no one knowing where I was in case I fell but I couldn't resist. My dog, myself, my pole, and a hot cup of coffee headed down. I thought, even if I don't catch fish, I can watch this morning begin in this beautiful place. Bet you wish you were there by now. I stood on the dock, dog by my side, and just looked at nature's beautiful place. After a moment I just had to try my luck with my fly rod. I stood on the dock and caught and released brook trout for an hour, no kidding. Made me stop and appreciate that once again, this year that I still can walk to this amazing place. Gave me a boost and helped me focus on what I can still do and how lucky I am to have my husband, family, and this amazing place to come to for relaxing and reflecting.

Wonderful
And I get to go back every weekend in the summer, if I want to! I'm a Lucky Lady!
Sounds like you are truly blessed! 
Sometimes I have to remember I am more than the Parkinsons since I am no longer known as teacher.
I know what you mean. When I had to retire from my job working with preschoolers, I felt that loss of identity. We can't let Parkinson's dictate who we are or who we might become in the future. I enjoyed reading your post.
Very well written. I could imagine being there. Focusing on what I can do is what keeps me thinking positive. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for posting such a wonderful reflection.
I love the early morning, fishing and my dog. Wish I could have been there.
WOw happy for you!
Heading back tomorrow afternoon after helping hubby's sister. Hope I'm doing ok so I can relax and enjoy when the chores are finished. Hope everyone has a great weekend. If you know a veteran, thank them this weekend. My hubby is a Vietnam Vet and I'm proud of him.
Where is this lake in Maine? I live in Portland, Maine, and there are lots of wonderful lakes, ponds, etc. in Maine.
Horseshoe Pond, up by Green ville. Its between Elephant Mt and Indian Mountain, the Elephant MT that has been on the news this week about the B-52 seat found there. My favorite place! My feet are hurting bad tonite but still going there in the morning for 2 days. My rest, reflection, and recreation spot for the summer. Good food, great family, good friends, my hubby and my beautiful golden retriever, Callie.
Just add a fly rod and I'm all set. Happy Weekend to everyone!
Blame "Her"!
