Well this is a great question and I’m interested to read others’ responses and get some new ideas on how to deal with negative feelings.
Yesterday we went out into nature, even though the temps weren’t favourable. I think the high yesterday afternoon was -22 Celsius but the wind was biting so it probably felt more like -26ish.
But there’s something about walking on the earth, (well the snow in my case), and being in the sunshine that soothes the soul. We keep our ice fishing shack on the lake and it’s situated just a quick walk to a little island. Sid loves making that trek to pick some sticks, especially by himself because he feels like a really big boy when he does.
Yesterday there were no fresh tracks to the bush so I offered to go with him and walk ahead to break the trail. The snow was so deep I was sinking past my knees. And that’s just the fresh fallen snow on top of the hard packed older snow. It was quite the workout.
It’s a great way to spend the afternoon, sitting there fishing and drinking freshly boiled coffee. Of course it helps when I catch the most and the biggest fish.
We just can’t tell Sid that. He’s already a competitive fisherman and so we had to pretend his fish was bigger. I told Clint he’s already getting good at these fishing stories that are half truths.
