Why Fish Reason # Six
Mascot.
Fish and fish imagery have been my "mascot" through my difficulties with Lyme disease. They stay by my side, they cheer me on and they give me hope. They give me a tool to explore so many aspects of dealing with a chronic situation. They help me illustrate gracefulness when I feel awkward in my body, persistence when I feel like giving up, and keep me centered when I feel off balanced.
