Today is August 1st so goodbye July.
Today I’ll recap the month’s episodes. I’ll also share obsessions, obstacles and observations that are in my head that you might find interesting (or not).
We are in the dog days of summer here in SoCal. (That’s short for Southern California for those listeners in faraway lands). The term “dog days of summer” refers to the hottest, most humid period of the year, typically from early July to mid-August.
This period gets its name from the ancient Greeks and Romans, who associated the rising of the star Sirius (also known as the Dog Star) with the hottest part of summer.
My latest obsession is going outside and walking on the grass barefoot. Up until recently I hadn’t done that for many, many years. It was interesting to feel how warm the ground is on a summer’s day.
Grounding, also known as earthing, is a practice that involves making direct contact with the Earth’s surface. This can be done by walking barefoot on grass, soil, or sand, swimming in natural bodies of water, or using a grounding mat (whatever that is).
The theory behind grounding is that the Earth has a negative electrical charge that can be transferred to the body through physical contact. This transfer of electrons is thought to have various health benefits.
I admit, I know nothing about any of that, but it sure feels good to walk barefoot on the grass in summer.
I’ve also been trying to sit on my porch every evening and watching the day go away and the dusk descend, almost always ushered in by a falling night’s breeze causing the trees to wave “Good-bye day! See ya tomorrow.”
We started July with “Don’t Let Them In! Five Steps for Keeping the Mental Mischief Makers
Away” That was episode 479 in which I tell a funny story from my book about some unsavory characters I used to let into my house. They were nothing but trouble and one day I finally told them to get lost and not come back. Interestingly, when they stopped coming around, the neighborhood improved tremendously, and a better quality of characters started coming around. Who are those mental mischief makers? Check out the episode to find out.
Episode 480 was Why You will Never Get Motivated.
