Healthy Lifestyle Tip ~ Is It Safe to Shower During a Thunderstorm?
When is it safe to shower during a thunderstorm?
To protect yourself from a lightning strike, refrain from showering for at least 30 minutes after the last thunder roll you hear.
“The most dangerous times for a lightning strike are immediately before and immediately after the storm,” says Dr. Bazzoli. “Lightning strikes can commonly extend 10 miles out from a thundercloud. So, if you’re able to hear thunder, you’re still within that strike distance.”
Thinking Out Loud ~ Bloom Where You’re Planted
Saint-Exupéry writes in The Little Prince of the Little Prince meeting a switchman in a railroad yard. The Little Prince is curious about the trains arriving and leaving.
“They are in a hurry,” said the little Prince. “What are they looking for?”
“The locomotive man ignores himself,” said the switchman .
Then in the opposite direction, a second flashing light rumbled.
“Are they already coming back?” asked the little prince.
“They are not the same,” said the switchman. “This is an interchange.”
“Weren’t they happy where they were?”
“We are never happy where we are ,”said the switchman.
Note: This morning I was speaking to a person who was unhappy with their life. This person said they had no choice but to continue living their unhappy life. They were place bound and job bound. I suggested there were other options, but this person was blind to any other options other than her unhappiness. Where we are is where we are. In the moment that’s the only place we have to be. It may not be what we want but it is where we are. We have a choice of making our situation work for us or fighting against it. When we fight against it we expend needless energy we could to create a happier life.
