I feel so lucky to have experienced this incredible sunrise in Bay Head this morning.
After being up since 3am due to our daughter having trouble sleeping away from home, I finally decided around 4:15 that trying to go back to sleep was futile, so I got up for the day and headed to the beach.
It was a strong reminder of one of the main reasons why I started this project in the first place. Having a baby can be rough for the sleep schedule. Constantly waking up and trying to fall back asleep again does not usually yield very good results, so I decided it would be better on certain mornings to just get up for the day. Photographing the sunrise every morning was in part a way for me to over come this challenge by turning a difficult situation into something positive.
Often your successes can be found just on the other side of what you might consider obstacles or limitations in your life. Push through them. The obstacle is the way.
