\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Twas the day after Thanksgiving and all was bright and beautiful. We walked the banks of our little Frantz Lake. The water was calm and the sun shining bright. A little red and white bobber was bobbing in the water. With a closer look I did spy a fish beneath the bobber a foot and half below. No fisherman is sight no pole attached. The fish that got away but is not free. Caught in the web of a fisherman\u2019s scheme.<\/p>\n

I had two choices. Take off my shoes and wade out 8 feet in the icy cold water of November. Or ask Jasper my 2 year old lab to fetch the bobber. I decided on the latter, hoping sweet Jasper would not get caught up on the hook. I found a small pebble and threw it at the bobber with a command \u201cJasper Fetch\u201d. Into the water he goes, right to the bobber. He retrieves the bobber, fish and lots of line attached, all caught up in a tree branch. \u201cGood boy, Good Boy\u201d I tell him. The fish is flopping about and very excited and so is Jasper \u201cJasper Leave It\u201d Jasper steps back as I release the fish. We watch as it swims away, free at last. Happy ending indeed.<\/p>\n

This story allows us to look at how we get caught up in the past. We may escape a bad situation. But does it haunt us after the fact. Leaving us unable to step forward with life. There is help out there. A friend, teacher, pet or stranger can be a guide to releasing the daunting affects of the past. Open to hope and find the help you need. Or find someone you can help. I wake up in the morning and ask how I can extend love today. I always find someway, even if it\u2019s with a fish.
\nHappy Holidays Everyone.
