75 an Sunny

Today begins the first day of sobriety until Memorial Day. It is something that I have thought about for a while as just a healthy decision and to change things up. Sadly I don't think I have taken much time off of drinking since I started, so I thought now is the right time. Lists of things to do have been made, a theme song picked, and I am excited to explore. Here are some of the things to keep busy and look forward to:



1. Hiking - Napa Tree Point, Long Pond-Ell Pond, Ben Utter Trail, Fisherville Brook Wildlife Refuge, Walkabout Trail.
2. Music - Narrow Rivers in Fall River
3. Zip Lines and Canopy Tours in New Hampshire
4. Revolution Soccer Game
5. Make a coffee table


Theme Song: 75 and Sunny by Ryan Montbleau Band

"I had a bad night
a night so bad i thought i was king of the world
and i drank til daylight
i mean i never stopped once til my hands finally fell
and i fought my daytime self with a mighty douse of hey look at the night time me
i never do win that battle, but i fight it over and over and over and over it seems


and i saw an old man smilin on a park bench feedin the pigeons
my head was spinnin as my young body ached i wished for an old man vision
and i watched the way he moved slow serene and lucky to be alive
and i thought to myself i'm never gonna make it that far with too many nights like last night

and i rather be 75 and sunny
than acting like i was 17 and freezing again
i rather be up early in the morning than up late at night erasin memories where i have been
or to be thru at 52 someday stone faced and bleary eyed
you better believe i'm lookin for the moment but my moments growin bigger by and by"

Just a little bit of the song.
