There will be no Spring this year!
We have had a lot of wet and cold up until now. 
Today Summer set in!
The work I have planned for the day is all outside and I'm telling you it's rough out there. 
The Sun is brutal and the sudden spike in temperature is miking getting a whole lot accomplished difficult.
So I make adjustments.
I am taking frequent breaks, drinking plenty of water and pacing myself. I have also made sure that the list of what I want to get accomplished today is not beyond my capabilities. 
At day's end, being able to say "Job well done!" to myself is important.
Expending this much energy and ultimately being disappointed in what didn't get done would be self defeating.
It's going on 2 p.m. and the Sun is at it's most oppressive point in the sky.
I will probably shut down for a couple of hours, recover and recuperate from the last few hours and then pick up again when the heat has subsided a bit.
With any kind of luck, I may be able to get a helping hand from my son to wrap up the day.
I know that with a modicum of assistance I will be able to summon the strength to finish strong. 
Shabbat Shalom!
