Taking the Heat
- This was posted on July 25, 2010
It is officially mid-summer here in Texas. The recent rain seems to have exhausted itself and the higher temperatures have returned. Today I took a break from the air conditioning to sit outside and soak up the warmth of the sun. I know it’s too hot to stay out long, especially at mid-day, but too much A/C chills me all the way through and nothing but a good baking seems to warm me up. I suppose it’s because I’m naturally cold, poor circulation, and all that. When I’m sitting out in the sun on a ridiculously hot day like today, it feels like I’m receiving a big warm hug. I’ll stay outside until the goosebumps that forced me outside return as goosebumps from the heat. I am not laboring in the sun or dashing to a roasting stuffy car, but just sitting.
In addition to balancing my wacky internal temperature, sitting in the sun offers me a chance to reflect and let the tensions of the day melt away. At times like these, come moments of clarity, much like when waking from a dream with the solution to some major problem you’ve been wrestling with. Like a lot of people nowadays, financial matters loom large in both my waking and resting thoughts.
If you have a structured settlement annuity, it might be that receiving cash for structured settlements could ease your current burden and allow you the peace of mind that you need to make it through this moment of crisis. Just like summer itself, the current financial climate will eventually be a distant memory as we move towards the crisp days of fall, but for the moment summer is here to stay.
