When it's hot it's hot!

“The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.”

Marcel Proust

When temperatures climb to nearly 100 degrees,the word EFFORT takes on a new meaning.

Everything you do takes an extra EFFORT.

Climbing in and out of the bus,walking down the street,going to the store all come with the burden of the oppressive unrelenting temperature.

Even driving the bus takes more EFFORT. The blazing sun and high temps superheat the windows and windshield making it feel like I am in a sauna.

As much as I have committed to add more effort to the things I do on a daily basis, I am mindful that this heat is no joke.

So I move just a little slower than I would like to.

I drink more water.

I make calculated choices .....like do I really need to shop today or can it wait until this heat breaks a bit.

For me,doing too much on 100 degree days is more important than many of the other precautions we have all added to our lives during the Covid 19 era.

This isn't an excuse to not put forth extra EFFORT.

On the contrary,it actually makes me more mindful and attentive to where my EFFORT is directed.
