Fish Hat

Today I went to Farrell's and indulged in a mountain of chili fries, an ice cream sunday, and a balloon hat. I originally asked for a giant sombrero, but I suppose that was too big of a task for the balloon lady.

Instead she made me this gem of a hat that I have my sister here modeling for me. :P When I wear it, the fish bobs up and down with every minuscule movement... it's like someone is dangling the bait that is slightly out of reach right in front of your face.

Obnoxious? Annoying? Yes. But I love it. I love reminding myself what the bait is-- the ultimate goal. By putting myself in a position where the end is in sight, but not yet here, I find the motivation and the hope to continue on this path for the possibility that someday I will catch the bait.
