You don’t have to shovel
sunshine!!
I awoke this morning to a very
warm house… it is sooo very hot in our area.
But I found a really strange
way to cool down. I chatted to a friend in India that lives every day at an
average of 27 C with rain most of the time. Then he told me that the summer
season just not long ago was 50 C at the highest point and averaging around 42
C.
That is so hot… I cannot
imagine what our area would be like if that was our climate! Most of my Canadian friends would have melted
on the first day.
Yet the odd thing is that we
pay big money to get to a very hot place and enjoy the heat… specially when it
is cold here.
BUT an amazing thought I had
yesterday was – “I don’t have to shovel sunshine!”
My friends in Irian Jaya where
it is hot all the time simply do nothing between 10 AM and 5 PM. The then start
up at 5 PM there regular routine. But
they also start earlier in the day to get more done and work later at
night. A daytime nap is in order for
each of them.
In 2001 I had the opportunity
to visit their country where I found it hot all the time. In the evening at
about 6 PM it often rained hard as the heat was still simmering around you. Yes
the rain cooled it all down a little… but at 30 C with 98% humidity it was hot
for this Canadian!!!
I mention that to help me
think cooler.
As I spoke to the man this morning
from India – I felt much cooler. He thought it was humorous when I told him how
hot it was yesterday. That is normal for him at 30C.
And he was speaking to me,
trying to convince me to come to India to help him in his work. A January invite makes far more sense than a
summer in Canada hot weather time. I could not hear what he was saying through
the heat!
But today will be better I am
sure. Cooler tonight and the house will
cool down.
That kind of complaining and
occasional discomfort makes me Canadian… and if I wait a little while the
weather will change – poof!
Think this way… as of today
there are only 6 months and 4 days until Christmas Day. And I can accurately predict for our area
that it will not be anywhere near 30 C!
I am going to keep moving
today and loving the heat. You don’t
have to shovel sunshine!!
