Hi everyone, good to see you again. Do you guys like to go fishing? For some people fishing sounds boring. But this can be one of the interesting ideas to fill your day off. Just like my boys these days. He is really enjoying his new hobby of fishing. Incidentally, where we live is close to a small river that used to flow into the villagers' rice fields.

Last weekend we went fishing together. He looked very happy. We prepared the worm bait that we searched for behind the house. You also prepared the hooks and rods. And we can't miss the bucket where we put our fish. Who knows, we might catch a lot of fish. I deliberately chose a small river near the house because I think this is the safest place and the river is not too deep.

Arriving at the spot we rushed to prepare the fishing equipment we brought. My son carefully attached the bait to the hook and released it into the river. We must not make any noise. Otherwise the fish in the river will run away hearing it. Patiently we waited until our bait was snatched by the fish. When the hook suddenly sways we are very excited and rush to pull the rod. Hooray, we got a fish. Although it is only a small fish, there is a feeling of happiness that envelops our hearts. We laughed together.

While fishing may seem easy at first glance, it's not. We have to try it several times so that the bait we put up is grabbed by the fish. There are times when suddenly the fish just slips out of our grasp. Although there is a little feeling of disappointment that sneaks into our hearts. But we don't give up and keep trying again. This fishing really trains patience. It trains us not to give up easily in the face of anything. After we feel our catch is enough. We packed up our gear and headed home. There were some fish that we intentionally released back because my son felt sorry for him. And there were also some fish that we brought home because my son wanted to keep them.

On the way home we talked a lot about our fun fishing trip. I saw that my son was very happy and really enjoying his new hobby. Because happiness is actually very simple. Happiness that we can get anywhere and anytime. Happiness that cannot be exchanged for anything. Happiness that doesn't have to be something expensive and luxurious. Even small things like fishing will one day become moments that we will miss.

As a parent, I sometimes feel both happy and sad. Happy because he is growing well and healthy. What's sad? Just like any other mom out there. When you see your child grow up that fast. Honestly, there's a bit of worry about how he's going to be. Will he be okay? But we also have to put our trust in him so that he grows up well and confidently. We will continue to try and be there for her through thick and thin. Thanks for following our story I hope we can continue to have fun. See you in the next content. Happy greetings.
