  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermindset coach, creative strategist and also happened to
• 0:10
  be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a.
• 0:14
  Podcast. To teach distinctions,
• 0:17
  possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring some
• 0:20
  joy. Into the world.
• 0:21
  So welcome to the coop and let's start your day off in a
• 0:24
  fantastic way. Hey everybody, good early early
• 0:30
  morning from the porch. So today our boy Beaufort has to
• 0:34
  go out and have surgery on a little tiny skin tag.
• 0:40
  That turned into a problem because he caught it running
• 0:44
  along the fence between the farms with our neighbor's dog
• 0:48
  and it got ripped open and then it started to bleed inside of
• 0:53
  his leg. So he is going to have surgery
• 0:57
  on them today. And here's the crazy part about
• 1:00
  this. It coincided the same incident
• 1:04
  that caused that late last week. And he saw the vet on Friday for
• 1:10
  all of this. And then the vet said, you know,
• 1:13
  we have to take care of it before anything else.
• 1:15
  So I love it when this happens because he also hurt his ear and
• 1:21
  he's got a hematoma inside of his ear, in the floppy part of
• 1:25
  his ear. It's it looks like a balloon and
• 1:27
  it's filled with blood at the same time.
• 1:29
  So and he said that's like, oh, and because he was, you know,
• 1:36
  itching at it and made it worse. And then it turns out that
• 1:40
  because he keeps going in the pond, he's got a yeast infection
• 1:43
  inside of his ears. And all of this happened like,
• 1:46
  you know, 123 right in a row, right over the course of the
• 1:50
  same few days. And I any the fence fighting
• 1:53
  took place. The ironically, I had the
• 1:56
  appointment for his regular vet visit and it took place the day
• 2:02
  before the regular vet visit. So he was supposed to go on
• 2:04
  Friday, Thursday, all these things happen and boom, here we
• 2:08
  are. So what's the point of giving
• 2:11
  you all this information? Two things.
• 2:13
  One, I this little skin tag was small and I said I think I
• 2:19
  should take them right away. And my husband was like, well
• 2:22
  you know what, let's watch it and see.
• 2:23
  Sometimes they just disappear and I was like, I don't know.
• 2:27
  And I didn't listen and I should have listened to my instincts.
• 2:31
  So for all of us, this is a lesson again about like when
• 2:35
  something is niggling at you, when you know it's there, you
• 2:38
  should deal with it. Because if you don't deal with
• 2:40
  it when it's small, it could, you could be dealing with
• 2:43
  something when it's big. Second, it's an important thing
• 2:47
  to recognize that when you're out of your routine, you never
• 2:51
  things get weird. So in our morning, I can't give
• 2:54
  him any food. This morning I can't give him
• 2:56
  any water because he's got to have this little surgery done
• 2:59
  and he is so upset at me because we're not doing our normal
• 3:03
  routine and he can't have his breakfast and he can't have his
• 3:06
  snack when he comes in the door. And he's looking at me like he's
• 3:08
  massively depressed about it and I'm feeling out of sorts because
• 3:13
  it's not our normal routine and it's so funny how routines and
• 3:18
  all of these little things make us have our feel good about our
• 3:23
  day. So then I'm looking at him and
• 3:25
  I'm nervous because he's looking at me and I'm not giving him
• 3:27
  something and he's getting annoyed and we just keep going
• 3:30
  back and forth. So the point of today, the whole
• 3:33
  point of this is to not drone on and on about what happened to
• 3:36
  the dog. It's to say all these little
• 3:39
  lessons can come out of this everyday stuff.
• 3:41
  And so I recognize how important the morning routine is.
• 3:45
  And for some of us, it feels like, again, another day doing
• 3:49
  the same thing. But yes, a blessing of another
• 3:52
  day getting to do the same thing, another day getting to do
• 3:56
  the same thing. And that is awesome.
• 3:59
  When you feel like you, you, you recognize it from a stand back,
• 4:04
  stand back and look at it from a place of appreciation.
• 4:07
  So I'm going to go back in and I'm going to appreciate this and
• 4:11
  I'm going to get him ready to leave here, even though it's, I
• 4:16
  don't know right now, 4:45 in the morning as I'm recording on
• 4:20
  the porch. But I'm going to get him ready
• 4:22
  to go and have to have him there very early, 7:00 AM so they can
• 4:27
  get him prepped and ready to go and wishes well today.
• 4:32
  And be grateful for all the little things you have, my
• 4:34
  friends, because it makes a massive difference.
• 4:36
  And take care of that stuff. All right, I hope you have a
• 4:40
  blessed day, everybody. I'll see you tomorrow.
• 4:42
  Bye.
