God bless you - what a wonderful reply! We've all read about manifesting, but your map of words and your grandma attesting to it - that's the kind of motivator I can relate to. Thank you for the kind words.
"The Connection Cure" by Julia Hotz, devotes a chapter to the healing powers of fishing... but that's a whole other story.I did shut down and retreat - mostly due to my family (but not my husband! He's awesome! and our youngest daughter!) - too many of us died young, and unlike @myjob, I didn't soldier on. Maybe I should have taken up fishing! A wonderful book I often quote,
Thank you Nancy!
We die every day, dear Carol, but we also live every day. If you were near here, I would have already invited you for a coffee or a beer to talk and talk about books. A hug
I'd love to mee over coffee or a beer!!! Thank you. And hugs to you. :)
Wondering if I'll ever book another flight in my life... 2019 was the "never again" flight! So far, I have not ventured near an airport since then.
@carolkean I do not think fishing had anything to do with my "carrying on", it was only the desire not to quit.
Well, many recommend FISHING as a prescription for whatever ails us.
Even Moby Dick opens on that note:

People who find fishing relaxing do not do it for a living. When I go what I call "play" fishing I am more relaxed and enjoy it, if I need to pay the bills, I am stressed.
That makes sense!
I've seen your amazing daily freewrites - oh, the work!
The toll it has taken on your hands - wrists - bones -
I hope you're still on the mend from all that.
