Default Thought for the Day

Instead of always worrying about things you have little or no control over, sometimes it is better to just keep on moving forward. There's two sayings I like to try to live by:

"Never sweat the small stuff, and everything is small stuff."

"There are no problems, only solutions."


To that let me add the following of my own making:

"No matter how complicated life can get -- remember life is sometimes like fly fishing; after turning over every rock in the river trying to "match the hatch", you have probably spooked every fish for miles -- so don't let the "little things" BUG you -- just enjoy whatever you find."

Tight Lines, Mike

Problems; What problems?

There is nothing in life that cannot be solved!

A problem shared is a problem halved!

What goes round, comes round!

Life is for living; So live and let live, ****** off fishing, instead of writing about it; Then let us know how your fishing day went.

This is my saying : The most important thing in life is other people!

Point taken -- see my posts on "You're Fishing In Weather Like This!!!!" and its follow-up "All Dressed Up And Nowhere To Go".
