Outdoor Truths
with Gary Miller
I’ve taken some time out of the last few
days to fish the river. This is my sport of
choice during this time of year. The weather
has been perfect and the fish have been cooperating as well. One morning I felt like
Mike Iaconelli who is one of the pros from
the Bass Elite Series. Mike is known for his
loud screams when he catches a big fish or a
fish that gets him in contention to win. He
really lets his emotions be seen and heard. I
felt the same way the other day as I was
landing several good fish. The difference in
Mike and me is that he is fishing from a fifty
thousand dollar bass boat, and I am in my
twelve foot, river jon boat. But the thrill is
the same. It doesn’t come from what’s above
the water but from what’s below it. It’s that
unexpected bite that becomes that unexpected fish which gives you that unexpected
battle. When it culminates with fish-in-hand,
there is nothing else to do but give a big,
bold, unashamed scream or high-five, or
anything that celebrates the victory.
For some reason many of us are hesitant
to openly celebrate. Men are especially reserve when it come to this. Sometimes we
think it’s unbecoming to an adult. Other
times we fear celebrating now because of
what may lie ahead. It’s the old thought that
we shouldn’t get too excited about something until the outcome is certain. And we
surely can’t enjoy the good times because
something bad is just around the corner.
As schools dismiss for the summer, summer camps crank up. Middlesboro Lady Jacket Basketball Coach Ron Edwards has already wrapped up Camp Lady Jackets. Our Ray Welch
visited camp activities at the Middlesboro Middle School and filed these photos.
Now I know I’m speaking (writing) to some
of you who fall right into this trap. Some of
you catch a five pound bass and shrug it off
as if it is commonplace for you. Other times
you won’t allow yourself to celebrate because you know there is still a “long way to
go.” Let me tell you, you are missing out on
some great moments. In life there are too
many tough times.
We deal with some trouble, problems, or
heartaches, every day. Some are minimal;
others are life-changing. We have no idea
what tomorrow holds. We may be awakened
by an unexpected phone call informing us
about an unexpected tragedy. We may be
met at work with an unexpected pink slip.
We may be notified by our doctor about an
unexpected illness. We just never know.
There is one thing I do know however; I
know I can celebrate each and every good
moment and good day with a bold and
unashamed zest. No one can keep me from
celebrating with everything I have. And for
me, I will choose to milk every present moment of all its praise whether that moment is
something as small as landing a bass from
the river or something as big as winning the
BassMasters Classic. I hope you will too.
