Day 3

8/6/11

New perspective day...:)

This morning was partially cloudy, but I was determined to at least walk to my spot with the dogs to see if I could catch the sunrise peaking through the clouds.  I felt soooo good yesterday I certainly didn't want to miss a day!  Oh sweet motivation, how I value thee...hahaha. :P

So we made it to the park and I was pleasantly surprised to see several other people that were there to walk their dogs around the soccer fields track.  Good for them I thought.  But I planted myself on one of the skate board jumps and intended to wait.  The neighborhood I live in has a killer skate board park for the kids, a dog park, and pretty much anything a bedroom community has...but we are much closer to the city.  It's a great place to live!

Eventually the sun did break through and even though it was only my 30s day, I let myself gaze as long as the sun moved through this one little opening.  I counted out about 70s and it was gone.  I had no extra 'spot' in my vision as I walked home, smiling.  It felt even better than day 2 and I scolded myself for discovering this so late in the year.  Clearly, the weather would only be getting worse, and who knows how much sunrise we would get through the winter...... BUT, I happily reminded myself..lol, I did discover it, and its impact has been straight up terrific so far!

I have had NO issue at all looking directly into it, and I have found that I no longer want to wear sunglasses or a hat when I am out in the sun.  Granted, I am not working in a field all day!  But for the hour or so I am outside the sun has turned from an 'enemy' to an advocate..:D  woot!  Lucky me!

Hope you're having a fantastical day yourself!
