V The Dog Days of Summer CAREGIVERS, SENIORS & PHYSICALLY IMPAIRED
I ’ve heard it said that redheads have fewer sweat glands than
other people do. Perhaps that’s why I have never adapted to
Florida’s long, hot summers, though I’ve lived here for years.

When I get overheated, I can’t seem to cool down like those
lucky people whose bodies know how to perspire.
Thus, as our summer months wear on—all six of them!—I
go outdoors less and less, my excursions a series of scurries
between air-conditioned spaces. In between, I sleep too much, Specializing in:

known as WHINE.
SLUMP and WHINE are problems, for me and for the
people I live with. Whenever I have any problem, I turn to
Serving Orange & Seminole Counties
books on the topic, but, not surprisingly, there are no books on
SLUMP and WHINE. And I have already read, during www.lynch-associates-inc.com
previous summer doldrums, every generic book ever written
about how to kick the blues. Twice.
So, in a change of tactic, I’ve been reading books about
happiness. There are a surprising number of them, and they’re
not all rah-rah, positive thinking stuff. If you, too, are trying
to hang onto your last shred of good humor until cooler
weather arrives, you might enjoy the best of the lot, a book
that made me laugh out loud and was full of interesting tidbits
about happy people and places. It’s The Geography of Bliss:
One Grump’s Search for the Happiest Places in the World, by
Eric Weiner, whose last name, he points out, is appropriately
pronounced “whiner.”
Weiner starts his journey in the Netherlands at the World
Database of Happiness, then globetrots to places that rank Retired? Planning to Retire?

had never heard before. “The Constitution only gives people
the right to pursue happiness,” said Ben. “You have to catch it
yourself.” I do believe this is true, and I will be working on that, Mike Maguire: 407-475-0701
just as soon as it’s cool enough to chase after anything at all.
Stay cool, sweat if you can, and thanks for reading Our Town!
