summer

We went from having #Summer temperatures to having #Autumn weather. I have been enjoying it. I know that the hurricane bringing in the cooler weather will not last forever, and eventually it may go back into the 80s, but hopefully we can hang on a little longer.

Living in #Florida is interesting. We live in Central Florida where there are theme parks and lots of places to visit. It is a great vacation location in the world. My husband works in the theme parks, as do many others in my family. Mostly Universal. I used to work there too. I sometimes miss it.

I just want to embrace the holiday season as much as I can, without my focus being on #presents this year. The #Holiday season is always amazing. The special #seasonal drinks are always so good too.. the ones from Dunkin and Starbucks. It's exciting.

Ugh. I am all over the place right now. But this is what's running through my mind.

Much Love!

Here is a funny photo!
At Target 🎯 I was walking down the Halloween isle and behold at the next turn and all down this isle to the wall was Christmas! Strangely, there were still #Summer items hanging out. Has #Halloween become a part of #Christmas ? Ha!

Happy SummerHalloweenaChristmasatime!

☀️Summertime shady decks/cool nighttimes☀️

Having fibro can make temperature control an issue. Too hot, too cold, most days I feel like a mixed bag between Princess and the Oea and Goldilocks. Everything ’bothers’ and temperatures need to be ’just right’.

I have always enjoyed the sun and It’s life giving properties. I have managed to get a little sun on my skin while out, and be out on my shady deck enjoying my flower pots. I have a thick foam cushion loveseat which has made sitting out there enjoyable. This summer there have been some cool rainbows also. Sharing from my deck;)

Having painsomnia, gets me up at 3 or 4 am. By then the temperature drops and it’s comfortable to be out, so I go sit on the deck to watch the night sky, and hang with the fruit bats that like to do flybys over my head.

In summer I love drinking smoothies to help keep me cool. One of our favorites starts with vanilla milk (or milk + extract), pear, cinnamon, crushed ice, and the secret ingredient that seems to work wonders in most smoothies: a handful of quick oats for creaminess! It tastes so smooth that I'm sad when it's gone, plus oats add protein, fiber and make it more satisfying.

What's your go-to for staying cool? Do you have any favorite smoothie recipes?

A sunburn can raise blood glucose levels, so it's important to protect yourself from getting sunburned, by wearing sunscreen and a hat while outdoors. Also, remain cool by wearing light-colored clothing as it will reflect the sun and prevent heat from being absorbed.

Hi all! I know I haven't been on here lately due to some personal stuff happening. But I thought I'd check in and see how everyone's Mighty Buckets are doing! It is summertime and there are things about summer that Fill My Mighty Bucket! One thing is the warm weather (as long as it's not too warm LOL). I also recently had a birthday so that Filled My Mighty Bucket! I still love being mindful of the beauty that is out there in whatever form it is in 🙂.

How about you? How have your Mighty Buckets been?? Is there anything about summertime that Fills Your Mighty Bucket?🌞❤️

Try not to exercise outdoors when it's hot or when the heat index is high. Get active early in the morning or in the evening when temperatures are lower, or go to an air-conditioned mall or gym.
