10 things i’m grateful for today 20/07/10
There’s a heat warning in Southern Ontario today, just as there was yesterday, the day before, and the day before that. The temperature outside is 36 C, with humidex values over 40 C. I don’t have air conditioning, and it’s 28 C in my living room.
Still, there is so much to be grateful for, even during a heat wave. Here are ten things off the top of my hot head:
- I’m grateful for fans (the air-circulating kind), especially during a heat wave!
- I’m grateful I have a house to live in, and a cool basement (with a bed in it) to sleep in, especially during a heat wave.
- I’m grateful for the Mississippi River and its Blakeney Rapids (in Mississippi Mills) because they’re great to swim in and hang out in, especially during a heatwave.
- I’m grateful the sun sets at night, and gives us all a respite from its warmth and light, especially during a heat wave.
- I’m grateful I’ve gotten accustomed to not going out much, especially during a heat wave.
- I’m grateful I have access to clean water and cold showers, especially during a heat wave.
- I’m grateful for short, loose, cool cotton dresses, and for feeling comfortable going braless and commando (which apparently has health benefits), especially during a heat wave.
- I’m grateful my refrigerator is working again so I can make ice, especially during a heat wave.
- I’m grateful for temperature-regulating bodily functions such as sweating, especially during a heat wave.
- I’m grateful knowing the weather always changes eventually, especially during a heat wave.
