Find your Bliss…
Willomec Creek
There is something about those moments that make you feel calm, in control, happy and truly at peace. Where you zone out and all the stress,noise,and troubles fade away.
I had forgot mine as many of us do, we get lost , busy, we change. The things that use to bring us joy change.
We grow.
It’s important to find what fuels your soul and do it . It’s not selfish , it’s not something to put on the back burner because others need your attention. It’s self care, it’s self sanity not sure if that’s even a thing but, it should be.
I was busy as hell, mom,wife,full time job, errands,sports and countless other activities who had time for bliss.
I had to find something to take my mind off of the chaos of the days . Hoping to spend some quality time with my son, I took up fly fishing with him . I bought all the gear and he taught me how to cast and about different fly patterns .
We packed up and went down to the Willomec Creek and Beaverkill River, I was just excited to spend the weekend with my son and figured I would do this a couple time and taht would be it. After all, he brought me joy.
The Willomec was first, I put on my waders and boots , geared up and we stepped into the water. Slowly making our way to the center of the creek.
The water was clear enough to see the glistening of the trout just below the surface , I cast my line and I was hooked.
The quietness of it all , the motions, the fly landing perfectly on the water it mesmerized me. At that moment standing in the middle of the Willomec I found my bliss.
We fished for hours before we moved to the Beaverkill , which in itself is breathtaking. -However, standing in the water, soaking it all in as if you are one with nature is what took my breath away.
