As winter approaches, the ice enthusiast give thanks for the cold. We give thanks for the hope that the water will freeze. We give thanks when the water does freeze. We give thanks for a lake that measures 8 inches in diameter. We give thanks for Maggots and Worms. We give thanks when we catch a fish that measures 5 inches long. We give thanks when the ice cracks and we don't go through. We give thanks for the shivering that tells us we are a different kind fisherman. We give thanks for just being there. So let us all be thankful
