I was watching tv this morning and saw a commercial that said we all have apporximately 25,000 sunrises in our lifetimes. This was interesting information for me, as I am very analytical in typical virgo fashion. I like the black and white, cold facts type of girl...
25,000 sunrises ...hmmm
This sunrise was very dreary here in the Florida panhandle... lots of clouds followed by subsequent torrential rain. There came a break in the rain around 2:00pm, so I took out the 4 dogs that make up my pack... then noticed that there were several cars at my neighbors house. Cars that I have only noticed in the past 3 weeks coming and going, but never all there at the same time... then I further noticed that the American flag that they proudly display was at half-mass. I concluded that this must have been his 25,000 sunrise.. or sunset as this case may be.
I am sooooo grateful on this day for my sunrise... even if it were so yucky outside. I am so glad to be alive. I have spent many many days in the shadows letting this life pass me by. For those of you that know me, you know that I have just in the past 2 weeks decided to grab the reins of my life. I let myself go over the past 7 years. I think that it started when I was abandoned by shitty boyfriend while I was pregnant, then he became even shittier father. Enter in a few tradgic relationships with men that I really did not want.... days became months became years... and thank God that my sunrises did not abruptly end during this time. I want to live Live LIve LIVe LIVE!!!! I want to keep my eye on the prize... the life and love that I hope the universe sends me.. I am really really putting in the work... I hope to reap the benefits.
I have not done the math to find out what number sunrise I am on, but I suspect that I have a lot more ahead of me.
Thank you for reading... Jules
