Life lesson 2: "No matter where you are or what you are doing, you are exactly where you are supposed to be, doing what you are supposed to do"
I have worn many hats in my life, fishing guide and charterboat captain are the principal ones.
Some years due to lack of fish or a bad economy I have had other jobs.I worked in a grocery warehouse, I worked for the BLM fighting forest fires when I first arrived in Alaska. I sold ATM machines when they first came out, I had Christmas tree lots for many years in December when nobody goes fishing ( Trees R US ).
One year I became a driving instructor, teaching people to drive. I think this was the scariest job I ever had! All day long people were trying to wreck my car or kill me, many was the time I thought to myself," What the hell am I doing here?! This is insane! I must
be crazy!" This went on for a year and a half, then one day I had a student who would change my life. The very first time I laid eyes on her, I knew she was to be my wife. Five years later we were married.
Life lesson number two: No matter where you are or what you are doing, you are exactly where you are supposed to be, doing what you are supposed to do. God works in strange, wonderful ways!

aw! how sweet! what made you know that she was the one you wanted to marry?
The minute I saw Virginia I knew she was going to be my wife, no bells and whistles,no rockets red glare
just a feeling deep inside me that we had been together before, we were going to be together now, and we would be together in another life too!! I had the very same feeling the first time I met my first wife.
I have met and known many women in my life, but only had that feeling twice, and both times ended up married.
Thanks for the visit, Janelle!
Anyone here like fishing for bass. I just landed a 5 pounder and had to tell someone. Also, would be interested in your experience with different lures for catching bass. Let me know. Thanks Bass Fishing
