#1. I totally get the lake being your 'happy' place. I started fishing when I was three and spent every moment I could at the lake, beach, and or ocean. I have been fishing in some wonderful lakes including Mount Hood.
I took classes and received my diving certification, five years ago. My best friend and I have been diving a few times and even dove the Cenotes (caves) in Mexico. When I am feeling down...I have to find water even if it is a bathtub (lol). A Margarita and a fishing pole can do more for my stress than any med can.
I am so sorry that you have had to deal with the heartbreak of losing your wife and best friend. Its good to know that you are staying busy, going to the lake and have good friends. Isolating ourselves can be so tempting at times. I don't know what I would do without my friends and family. They remind me that I will have a life after this monster takes so much from me.
