Day 7, 30 Days of Sober Sunrises

7th day, July 5th, Friday, 5:49 am

Mild wind, easy waves, soft blue and pink, mild soft cloud cover on the horizon.

Jackie Pooh is with me today and he is loving it.

He's cuddled up in my lap on a towel, just like at home.

He's absolutely the best dog in the world. I am astonished at his compatibility and flexibility to do new things all the time.

I always think "I'm not gonna see much" when I come out there.

Today is no different. There does seem to be a  thick marine layer.

But of course she still rises.

She is consistent no matter what..

We just might not see it, but she shows up for us everyday, no matter the weather, wind, clouds or the earth's mood.

How do we show up everyday no matter what?

We rise everyday, we do things everyday, no matter what.

We are all very similar. 

I am so so happy in this moment with my sweet soul dog on the beach, listening to to the waves, waiting for the sun, drinking my coffee.

It's so good, I wouldn't' be surprised if I looked up and saw rainbows and dolphins jumping!! 

Sun still hasn't revealed herself. Just a soft pink spot in the thick marine layer.

6:20 and she reveals her full globe stunning colors, pinks, corals, blues, white waves.

I was WRONG about bringing Jackie Pooh to the beach!

I thought "he wouldn't settle down."

And that he wouldn't want to sit with me through this process.

I'm so glad I can "try" things, let go of my original thoughts and limiting beliefs.

So, today, I thought..let's just see what happens, I can be flexible and stand and walk or adjust.

Low and behold it was better than I thought it could be.

Has this happened to you?

You have limited beliefs, don't think something will be good, but you find willingness to try and do it and are blown away at how good it turned out?

I love when this happens.

I love discovering I was wrong about something.

I was really wrong about living alcohol free! Who the F knew it would be so great!!!

I had to try and be flexible to find out!

So glad I did!

6:33 am

About the 30 days of Sober Sunrise Project:

These entries are dedicated to my 6th year of living an alcohol-free life. I have discovered that I love sunrises in my new life. So, I decided to do a writing project of documenting 30-days of sober sunrises over the Atlantic ocean. I rented a house within walking distance to Carolina Beach to make this happen. My family and a few friends will be rotating in and out during this time.

I have no agenda or goal about the outcome. I am curious and fascinated about what might happen.

But most importantly, I just happy that I gave myself the chance for this to even be possible. I am thankful for every person who has helped me get here, past and present, good and bad. They all played a role and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't the experiences in my life (even all the excessive drinking) before this very moment. Let's see what happens!
