If you weren't already aware of this, the Phoenix area is really hot in summer. It averages well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit from May through September. Our summers are very long! Then we have this phenomenon called "Monsoon season" where we get these torrential thunderstorms that last just a short while and cause flash floods.We also get severe dust storms that they are now calling Haboobs. The last huge one made national news and left a 1/2 inch of dust on my front and back patios. You'd think that living in this heat all my life I would be used to it but I am not! I hibernate and run from air-conditioned place to air-conditioned place. We used to play outside in the summer and I wonder how we did. My parents had a drinking fountain outside for us and most of our friends had pools. I think we were underwater most of the time.
This heat affects everyone's moods as well, in my opinion. People can be downright crabby when they are hot! (Myself included!) I am amazed to say that though I work nights and I am currently being treated for clinical depression, the essential oils do seem to be helping! My downs are not so deep and my recovery from them is faster. I've added some subliminal tracks to my essential oils and my energy is increasing. I hope this is the road to getting my life back on track! I am tired of living in a construction zone!
Anyone have any suggestions? My posts are not showing the whole text - There's a big blank at the top of the first half of the post!
