I’ve been up for a little bit and all of the other blogs that I read have been doing end of the year things. Looking back at 2024, looking forward to 2025…you know what I’m talking about. I just didn’t feel like doing that post today, so I decided to talk about how hot it gets in the summer.

It gets hot in the summer!

There. I said it. “Hot take” and all that mumbojumbo. There really isn’t much to say about that.

So what does it have to do with a recovery blog? Well, actually, a lot. You probably know that recovery involves dealing with life as it comes. It’s even in our Prayer for Serenity “…taking this life as it is, not as I would have it…” Sometimes we get weird weather. Sure, winter has it’s share of cold days, but every now and then we get some warmth to make things different. The change doesn’t have to throw us completely off our recovery rocker. We can just make an adjustment and move on.

Maybe it’s cold wherever you find yourself reading this right now. Maybe you’re reading it way after I wrote it and you’re smack dab in the middle of June. Maybe you live in the tropics or the Southern Hemisphere so my cold winter doesn’t match up with your experience. I have no idea. But whatever the weather, go out and enjoy your recovery and your life and…

–Rise Up!!
