Dog days of summer

Is it just me, or have you noticed a change in the sun's brilliance lately?
 
My friend Lisa and I were talking this morning, and we both agree the sun seems a bit dimmer now -- not quite as bright.
 
It's beginning to feel like fall -- can't wait for the temperatures to reflect that seasonal change.
 
After months of triple digit temps -- most of us are ready for cool, or at least, warm air.
 
I am really looking forward to being able to open my windows at night --- and allow fresh air to replace the stale, summer air inside my home.
 
You've heard of Seasonal Affective Disorder, right?
 
It affects folks mostly in the northwest, who endure months of rain and lack of sunshine.
 
People are forced to spend most of their time indoors -- making them feel depressed.
 
But, many folks actually suffer from Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder...or the Summertime Blues.
 
It's a real disorder -- click here to read more.
 
I bet many folks who live here in the desert start to feel that way toward the end of summer.
 
We've been cooped up for so long, now.
 
While not depressed, I definitely feel the heat starting to weigh on me.
 
I'm looking forward to the cooler months that add a spring to my step.
 
I can't wait to get outside and run and hike -- without feeling like I might overheat.
 
Fall can't come soon enough!
