Ways to Survive the Heat

Aging Matters

It's not even summer and parts of the country struggle with record highs. Hot weather is a big concern for older adults, especially those living with chronic medical conditions. The factors that directly affect the risks are lack of fluids, absence of cold air-conditioning, excessive clothing, overcrowded places, and physical inactivity.

Don’t we all aspire to be happy?  To experience joy in life with our pockets full of sunshine? And to look at things with a glass half full instead of empty? These are some questions to ponder as you read: The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin.

Recently, I was invited to read this book for a book club. I was eager to get into the pages and see for myself what The Happiness Project was all about.

Growing up on 100 East in North Ogden during the 80’s meant something to me. Every day as I walked up my street, not only did I have a spectacular view of Ben Lomond Peak, but I knew one day I’d want to climb that thing!  But not today. No--- I needed to get stronger, grow a little taller, and aim a little higher.

Then, it happened!  I grew up!  I turned 42 and knew this was it!  This was the year I’d hike “Old Ben!” I mentioned to a friend of mine that it’s always been a goal of mine; and before I knew it, we had a date picked out and extra friends who would come along!

These beachy treat cups are the Scout Elves’ way of saying, “Aloha!” to one of the warmest months of the year. The Scout Elves whose families live in warm-weather climates were inspired to create this summery snack, which features gelatin the hue of crystal-clear waters and graham cracker beaches. Enjoy this warm weather treat with your family while soaking in the summer sun!
