Reflecting on 2024. Grateful for health & family. Pondering the next 4yrs & what could have been. So, a cup of coffee after a full day of hard work to reset the mind. Not changing course or speed in quest for a better world for all.

A storm may rage in ones mind, the source & origin vary amongst us. Nature has the ability to calm the mental & physical seas in our body. The key is to seek it out to the best of ones ability.
Rare, calm October morning.

32lb King Salmon. 47 fathoms deep, late October yrs ago.
Our commercial trolling was a secondary income. More for the peace, beauty & homepack.
Always grateful, always thankful when such a catch occurred. Kings have a unique smell. Amazing they are. Never once did I fret if one shook free.

I was fortunate to be in the workforce prior to the Reagan era. Nearing 45yrs being off the rails, so many younger than I knowing nothing different. They support an ideology with no context or care as to history. We must render the GOP & MAGA inert this election to correct the decades of travesty.

Soon we will usher in a new presidency with hope the Harris/Walz are at the helm.
At 63, the division, loss of friends to MAGA ideology has been at a level not known. I often wonder if there will be a change, an awakening of those lost in my remaining time. The willful damage has run so deep.
