  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So today we are talking about the little things that Sunday
• 0:37
  morning represents to us. It's Sunday morning and to me
• 0:41
  it's such a time for peace and quiet.
• 0:44
  It's very early and the sun is just coming up here and you can
• 0:50
  hear the crows off in the background.
• 0:51
  The girls are absolutely quiet because they are eating
• 0:55
  watermelon right now. I just came out and brought them
• 0:59
  half of a giant watermelon that I cut from the garden last night
• 1:05
  and was testing to see if it was ready.
• 1:07
  And it's mostly ready in my opinion.
• 1:10
  Could be a little bit sweeter. So I said OK, give half of it to
• 1:14
  them. It's a big giant one and it was
• 1:16
  very cool because it's one of the only things that
• 1:18
  successfully is still thriving in the garden.
• 1:21
  That's a story for another day. So talking about Sunday morning
• 1:25
  joy and what is your Sunday morning represent to you now?
• 1:29
  For some of us, it's to go and practice faith and go into
• 1:32
  church. For some of us, it's to just
• 1:35
  relax and not have to have the rush on.
• 1:37
  For some of us, it's to go out and, you know, take a hike, do a
• 1:41
  walk, do something, whatever it is, doesn't matter what it is.
• 1:45
  It's to recognize that this is the day that's supposed to start
• 1:48
  off your week. This is the day.
• 1:50
  It's not the second day of the weekend.
• 1:52
  It's actually the first day of the week when you technically
• 1:55
  look at it. So even calendars, it's kind of
• 1:58
  funny because when you order a, a daytime or something, they'll
• 2:01
  ask you, do you want your day to your week to your, to start with
• 2:05
  a Monday or do you want your week to start with a Sunday?
• 2:09
  And I always kind of laugh at that because I'm like, no, it's
• 2:12
  definitely the first day of the week.
• 2:13
  Sunday is the first day of the week, but we have clumped it to
• 2:16
  the weekend. So often times what happens is
• 2:19
  over the weekend, you push, push, push, push, push.
• 2:22
  And then you need another Sunday to recuperate from your Saturday
• 2:25
  and Sunday, if that makes sense. So to me, the Sunday morning
• 2:30
  thing is very important because it, it represents us finding a
• 2:34
  way to be able to be peaceful, to sign to, to find a way and to
• 2:40
  create these little signs of how our week is going to go.
• 2:43
  How do we want the week to go? What do we want things to look
• 2:46
  like? And you know, I think for me, I
• 2:51
  can't, and I can't speak for everybody, but I can speak for
• 2:53
  myself. Obviously coming out here with
• 2:56
  the chickens is the way that I do this.
• 2:57
  Every day but how I want to set this week up so I'm.
• 3:02
  Going into a a. A project this week where you
• 3:07
  know. We're I'm starting to.
• 3:08
  Write another book and I never usually announce those things or
• 3:12
  talk about it, but I'm just starting the process.
• 3:14
  I'm waiting for a new whiteboard to show up on wheels, so I'm
• 3:19
  super excited about that so I can map some things out about
• 3:22
  this book and I'm not. Sure, exactly.
• 3:27
  My timing on it, but I know that I'm starting the process and I
• 3:32
  want to go into that in a. Very peaceful.
• 3:35
  Place, I'm not putting a rush on it, you know, I'm just putting
• 3:40
  myself into the position of this is going to come out how it
• 3:44
  comes out. But typically.
• 3:46
  I have a game plan going into things and I'm not stopping
• 3:50
  that. I'm just changing the game plan,
• 3:52
  but I'm going into it with peace.
• 3:54
  The whole week. Is about going into it with
• 3:56
  peace. So when you start your Sunday
• 3:59
  off and you start thinking about OK.
• 4:02
  This. Sets the tone for the whole
• 4:04
  week. How do you want to feel this
• 4:06
  morning? How do you want to think about
• 4:08
  the week? What are the things that you
• 4:10
  know if you have to have them done by Friday, you might want
• 4:13
  to get them done by Wednesday so that you have a more peaceful
• 4:17
  week and you don't feel like you're up against the the
• 4:20
  parameters or that deadline, so to speak.
• 4:23
  Another really important thing to do is.
• 4:26
  Think about how you want to show up through this week.
• 4:30
  Think about how peaceful. Think about how you feel this
• 4:33
  morning. Think about what you're
• 4:35
  embodying right now and how can you take that with you
• 4:39
  throughout the week. So, you know, we have all of
• 4:42
  these now. I, I, they're really teenagers
• 4:44
  now. These baby chicks have now come
• 4:47
  into teenage time and they're hysterical and they're funny.
• 4:52
  And I, every time I come out here, I think about how much I
• 4:55
  appreciate them and how I can't wait to just get back out here
• 4:58
  later and see them. So I spend a lot of time walking
• 5:01
  out here, seeing them, talking to them because they make me
• 5:05
  laugh because of the silly things that they do and how they
• 5:08
  act in the process of doing things.
• 5:10
  So it makes me it, it just brings me little moments of joy
• 5:14
  again. So I want to spend more time
• 5:16
  laughing this summer. I want to spend time feeling
• 5:19
  good about this. You know, week going into it's
• 5:24
  going to be hot. Lots of other projects.
• 5:27
  Very busy week because we had this holiday week that we were
• 5:30
  backing up. So lots of people.
• 5:32
  Move their appointments around and could I look at it like,
• 5:36
  holy cow, this is going to be a really tough week.
• 5:38
  I could, but I won't because that that's not going to serve
• 5:41
  me. The only thing that's going to
• 5:42
  serve me is saying how I want to show up during this week because
• 5:46
  the parameters are there, but I'm not going to let them get to
• 5:49
  me. I'm going to do something else
• 5:50
  instead. So I'm just going to challenge
• 5:52
  you to think about that, see how you want this to feel, bring
• 5:55
  that joy forward. And I hope that you guys have a
• 5:59
  very blessed week and I will see you tomorrow.
• 6:01
  Bye.
