Just Slow Down

 “Be resolute in your goals, but flexible in your tactics. There are times that call for repetition and perseverance; and there are times that require new ways of thinking and doing. The challenge is knowing one from the other.”

Jonathan Lockwood Huie

It is really gross outside today.

When the temperature and the humidity are both 90 plus, it's a problem!
The thermometer says 92 degrees. Real feel says 97.
David says gross!
So what do I do about that.
Simple.
Just slow down.
I should probably take a lesson from my dogs.
The two of them have been comfortably sleeping in our family room all day long.
It's the one room on the ground floor of our house that is airconditioned.
Dolly has basically been in the same spot on the couch for about 6 hours, minus one quick trip to the back yard.
Mohgli has moved to 3 different spots on the floor, each within a foot of the others. He opted out of the back yard adventure.
There will be plenty of time tomorrow to bark at passers by and howl at the mailman.
Today. it's just too hot.
Today they have opted to just slow down.
There world's won't collapse because they took it easy today.
They can chase the damn rabbits out of the yard tomorrow.
All barking, baying and howling can be paused for 24 hours.
The oppressive heat will go away and they can return to their normal activities tomorrow.
Today, is just a slow down day for them.
And for me as well.
Good way to spend Day 6!
