Transcript

Sometimes I feel like on those easy days, we, um, actually are just. So surprised that they're easy, that we never let ourselves appreciate. Um, and I just encourage us to take a few minutes to stop down. When the day is going well to sit there and go. Good for us. I'm glad that today is the day. Today is one of those days for me. Uh, it's been a kind of cloudy day. Here in the twin cities, uh, which is probably good. I got a bunch of plants out there. That'll probably appreciate the fact that. It is raining.

Um, I have successfully with the help of. Um, a neighbor who comes by to help me with some work every once in a while I did successfully move all of the wood. Chips. So I don't have to worry about that. And, um, so far a lot of the things that I have implanting here, in the house to try and, uh, encourage life in our ecosystem. Are also doing okay. So it's nice to be able to sit. To, uh, actually enjoy your tea on a day, like today and go, you know, I don't have to. Hurry. Uh, cuz that gets very uncommon.

I think for a lot of us is that we normally are bustling. So if you are having a day. That is, um, more of the peaceful variety. Appreciate it. Give yourself a chance to steep in it. Like the beautiful teabag that you are. And, um, let yourself just get infused into the warmth that is around you. Because, uh, as we all can assume, we don't wanna wait for that next shoe to drop. We don't wanna wait for that negative thing. To happen, but those things are inevitable in the impermanent world that we live in.

So I am going to go and try and encourage my kiddo to do something fun. I have a. Number of projects that I am putting him in the path of. This summer, um, uh, we are also working on, um, a couple of. Chores that are going to be his and his alone. Is what they're gonna be. So I'm gonna work on that. Some of his, um, autonomy over the summer. But, um, fortunately it's not anything that we have to do in a rush. It's just so. Something that we will work in throughout the day. So thank you for working me.

Into your day and thank you for working cadre into whatever we have going on throughout the day that. Is important to all of us. We always hope that you'll, uh, let us know what else we can do to support you. What else we. Can do to provide the resources that would be of greatest value to you to make sure that when. You need something here, you can pop through the cadre sphere and go, you know what. That was a little bit, a little bite of what I needed right now. The plan, as far as, uh, I am concerned right now is to join you.

Again on Saturday at 10:00 AM central we'll check in again with another version of. Comedy through the chaos. Uh, and, uh, I hope that it is appropriately event. Eventful, uh, for you between now and then. So. Off we go, everybody enjoy the rest of your week. I do hope that the day treats you well. And if not shame on it, not shame on you. We'll see you back here soon.
