As look upstream at the New River the water looks very cold. The green of spring and summer is nothing more than a fond memory in a collection happy summers. The pop of Fall Colors has faded to a reddish brown. I have listened to and read multiple stories of fishing at Fayette Station. Some tell me that they have caught the biggest fish ever in the frigid waters while others say the fish were small but plentiful. After all the fish fish tales I have come to the inevitable conclusion that the real catch was time with loved ones. Parents and children, children and grandparents and all the best friends gather in this spot to try for the one that got away. I suppose that wiley rascal is still out there hiding in some deep eddy of new river taunting fishermen by tugging on lines and stealing bait. That’s it’s purpose in life. To entice us out away from the electronic devices or whatever is on T.V. to cast a line in the water and spend time with someone special.

Yes, I think we forget that being strong and independent doesn’t mean that we should not have our loved ones around. Companionship is underrated, Family is underrated. Everyone is so happy to spend time alone, I get that not everyone has a happy family, but unless that’s the case, I just don’t understand how people cannot enjoy socialising and spending time with loved ones. Loved ones over books any day.

“Balance in all things”. I also have a need for solitude but that’s mostly because I’m so easily distracted.

I feel ya on that! Too much distraction = brain freeze. Sensory overload can amp up feelings of anxiety.
