For the past few days it has been in the 90's here in the North East. Many folks here consider that a heat wave and long for cooler weather. But I like to think there is hidden value in this heat wave. It is the beginning of August. In this part of the country we have grown up with the perception that it is always too warm and humid in August. So we usually complain and look forward to the cooler weather that Fall will soon bring us. However, what if we were to convince ourselves that it is not August but February--usually the coldest month in the North East. But we have been fortunate enough to afford a two-week stay at a luxury hotel on a Florida beach. Now we would begin to feel sorry for our friends and relatives stuck back in the cold North East. The temperature has not changed but our mental attitude has. Attitude is the hidden value lurking in our own mind and under our control alone.
