In Arizona the temperature is usually over 100°F in July and August, but much drier about 5-20%.  The few days it drops below 100°F the humidity usually increase to about 30-40% and everybody complains about how humid it is.  The difference is that here in Arizona nearly every house has central air conditioning and you can escape the heat when you want.  People are used to the heat, and the cold air-conditioned air  They might complain about it, but this is normal, just as it is normal to complain about winter in Massachusetts.  The interesting thing is that in both situations people stay indoors, in  Arizona over the summer moths and in Massachusetts during winter.

What I have learned is the following:

1. Stay inside and close the blinds to keep the heat out.
2. Only go out in the early morning or lat at night when the temperature is a bit lower.
3. Travel north or to higher elevation for heat relief.

There must be more to learn, but this is what I have learned so far.

In everything, good or bad, there is a lesson for us to learn. Currently for me the question is what can I learn from the weather that we have been experiencing in New England. The experts are already talking about this as the cloudiest June in over 100 years.

So what can I, who loves the summer with the sun, learn from this? When I can sit outside and enjoy the sun and the beautiful surrounding I am at my best. The energy from the sun charges me up and I get going on projects that have been waiting. As you can guess this gloomy weather is not helping me at all. It is hard to imagine that there is a useful lesson in this kind of weather? Since this has been a record month of lousy weather it has to have more than one thing to teach me. When I think about it, I realize that I am going to learn that there are a multitude of learning experiences hidden in this gloomy June month. Open mind with curiosity about what is in store can take a person far.

It is when I look at the situation that is at hand and look for the opportunities in it, that I enjoy life more. I have already made progress on several projects, and that is with minimal sun. Life moves forward when we make the decision that is should and will move forward.

The underearner who opens her mind to the learning that is all around her and looks for the opportunities in the learning will move forward in her life and live a life of abundance.

Love and peace,
