Hi guys, been a while like usual - here I sit in a very hot house, so hot I've taken many cold showers to cool down. Our AC broke (and funny enough it happened during a record breaking heat wave) - so now on Day #3 of intense hot house, they are replacing the system. Funny how these things happen. You all left because the heat was too much to bear and I would join you except for the fact that strangers are in and out of our house trying to get the new system in place. So time for a little blogging while I pass the time - because Lord knows I can't do anything practical in this heat - I tried laundry and clean up but ended up so hot I was ready to collapse.
So my philosophy on this whole thing - well I have learned a few things:
1. When life gives you lemons, deal with it even if you can't make lemonade - its never fun to have some huge unexpected expense or anything else - surprises are only nice if they are good ones and not every surprise will be good - but if you take a good attitude, you can get through it.
2. Appreciate what you have - sometimes we think its normal to have good stuff (like air conditioning) and we don't realize how lucky we are til its taken away for a bit and we suffer - and then we realize how nice it is to have life's little luxuries. Just imagine how many poor people live without it all the time -what an awful way to live each day in hot and humid environments.
3. Find ways to make the unpleasant bearable - like in this case, cold showers got us through - in every situation there are probably ways to make things a little less hard.
Ok, can't wait to welcome you all back home - I've missed you today!!
Love,
Mommy
