What do you do when you have a hot flash and NO air conditioning? I certainly hope I don’t have to find out because the police may have to pay a visit to my home. I’ve been pretty fortunate lately. I haven’t had a hot flash in awhile. I attribute that to the strenuous exercise I’ve been doing. I figure if I sweat hard enough, I can sweat away a hot flash. Whatever! Right?
Yesterday, the air conditioner went on the blink. It just stopped working for no reason at all. Here we are in the midst of a heat wave and it decides it wants to act up! Even my dear, sweet husband---who ALWAYS complains about how COLD it is in the house—was feeling the heat. I went outside to have a talk with the thing. I asked it did it not care that I was a woman in menopause and I could flip out at any moment and throw it down the embankment next to my home. I could also go on a rampage in my neighborhood forcing my unsuspecting neighbors to call 9-1-1 to have me committed.
But then I thought about the sermon my pastor preached earlier that morning. He said if we have a strong foundation we would always be able to find peace in the midst of our storms. OK…That made sense. It’s how you handle the trials and tribulations that come your way. Getting upset over no air conditioning would only make me hotter and madder and probably raise my blood pressure. Besides, if it got really bad, I’m sure one of my nice neighbors would invite me to come into their nice, cool homes to cool down. Focusing my attention on other things---like finding a good scripture to meditate on---or picking up one of the many books I’ve finished yet also helps.
OK so although I have no air conditioning at the moment, I haven’t had a hot flash either so I’m alright.
Thank God for my strong foundation because, otherwise, I’d be blogging from prison.

Bev,
you're so lucky not to be in my home w/ a/c! hubby keeps it on 83-no matter how much I complain. Thank goodness there is a/c at the day job. and whole house fans for the evenings-otherwise, I might also be in prison and a widow
Hi Bev:
Thanks for commenting on my site.
I'd be lost without air conditioning. It would not be pleasant for anyone else either. Clock towers look like a good idea when I am hot and bothered.
