When it was the last time you were excited about the day to come?
Hi, my fellow SR members.
It's already morning at my part of the world and I am writing this post because something happened to me that is so out of my regular morning pattern that I couldn't but share it with you.
I woke up early to catch up with work and had no problem with getting up. Some usual morning stuff - coffee, checking e-mail, etc. Listening to latino jazz on youtube.
Then I go to make more coffee and at some point I find myself dancing. What the heck? It's morning, girl! And I am smiling and dancing without even forcing myself to do this. I just loved the music.
Then I grabbed my coffee and went out to the balcony to enjoy last relatively warm morning. It's a beautiful morning - the moon is still there, the Sun is already here, there are clouds and blue sky.
And I am no more dreading to face the day. Quite the opposite - I am excited about it. It doesn't mean I don't have problems and challenging issues to deal with. But I also have things to be excited about. And my focus is there.
I believe it was about the same day - October 10, when, just before quitting, I hit one of my worst moments and drank so much that I literally couldn't move. I felt like I was dying. Excited about the day? Dancing? What are you talking about?
What's my point? No point.
It gets easier. It gets better. It gets exciting .
Have a good one)

That is great MB! It feels so good to wake up and be ready to tackle the day ahead- both bad and good! I was excited this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday I sprang out of bed and was outside in my garden at 7:30, 8:00ish I had bought all of the winter vegetables for my garden and couldn't wait to get out of there and work on it. On Sunday I had planned to take my sons to a local museum for an archeology project. This was a situation where I had to stand for two hours, crowded in with other parents, while my sons participated in the class. Had I been drinking even just the thought of that would have made me ill. But on Sunday I was actually excited to go and watch them enjoy the class. I was able to stand, for two hours, in a crowded room and not feel sick, not hate my life, not get so agitated that I had to drag my kids out early. It was legitimately a nice experience.
