Fun in the Sun? Or is it cold on the Beach?



Notice anything missing? Nobody is out by the pool and lazy river! BRRrrrrr!




We are in the hot tub at the indoor pool!


Last week our family went to Myrtle Beach, SC. Normally you think of warmth, the hot sun and sand, and tons of warm water. Or ... that is the normal picture of a vacation at the beach. Not exactly so for our trip to the beach! Not in March!

It was cold and the breeze was cool while we were there. And I was not feeling at my best. In spite of the circumstances we did have fun.

Sometimes what we believe is the typical normal way to think of something is in fact just a belief about what we perceive in our mind's eye. You know that perfect day. Everyone and everything being just right. Then reality strikes.

The weather is chilly, the water is cold, the sun is not so hot, and the sand...well ...you don't want it in your shoes. But then you accept that the water and the sun aren't so warm, that you can't exactly sink your toes in the sand, and by no means do you stick your toes in the water. However, if you bundle up and prepare yourself for the weather outside then you can enjoy the present chilly or not! It is all in you mindset.

And you can perhaps find some fun out of the sun!

So what can you do today to change your view in your mind's eye?

What steps can you take to make changes to your mindset if your current path is way off from what you perceived it to be originally?

Next, how can you regroup and renew you so you will be prepared for changes in the weather?

Be prepared for whatever the weather.
