[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1970415, member: 109113"] Yup - that's exactly right, Sir. It takes a couple of days out there in nature to forget about all that stuff we worry about day in & day out. I remember sitting in a tree stand one very cold morning, in northwestern Minnesota. I was waiting for a big bruiser of a whitetail buck to show up, and I caught myself pondering a bunch of work-related stuff. I thought to myself "What are you doing ? You came here to forget about that stuff for a few days, and now you're grinding on it endlessly. It's all stuff you can't do anything about, and it will still be there when you get back to work next week. Unload it, and enjoy the moment." I'd like to say that the big showed up ten minutes later, but it didn't. I did, however, enjoy the ride for the rest of the day. I also stacked up a bunch of does the next day, and killed a pretty nice buck to boot. Mostly, though, I was successful in not thinking about my job and enjoying the hunt. Now that I'm retired, I don't have to consciously push thoughts about work out of my mind, so I can get into the flow of the hunt on Day #1, and fully enjoy the whole hunt - not just the last few days after I'm all dialed-in. It's a beautiful thing, indeed. [/QUOTE]
