  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So oh look at that right next to me and on the money this
• 0:34
  morning. So today we are talking about
• 0:38
  something funny that happened because I was out early this
• 0:43
  morning and I went out Christmas shopping, a little bit early and
• 0:48
  left the house at 6 a.m. to make a run to Walmart and before I
• 0:54
  got to open the chicken coop up and everything else and it's
• 0:57
  like oh this is great buying stuff and the dogs.
• 1:00
  Me in the truck. Come home, everybody still
• 1:03
  sleeping, my husband still sleeping, you know, my son's
• 1:06
  still sleeping and I have all these bags that I have to carry
• 1:10
  in and I grab the bags from the truck.
• 1:14
  I've probably got like, six bags.
• 1:18
  Some of them are heavy. Got glass bottles in them.
• 1:21
  I had some canning supplies that I bought heavy cases of stuff
• 1:25
  and for some reason in my head I do the typical thing that I do,
• 1:29
  which is Try to carry everything in the house all at once and I
• 1:34
  don't know why. I also had my husband's leather
• 1:36
  jacket that was left in my truck.
• 1:38
  So I was taking that in and as I'm walking in I realize I have
• 1:42
  this Epiphany about how many times have I done this?
• 1:45
  How many times have I picked up everything that I could from the
• 1:50
  truck struggling with it trying to carry it in the house?
• 1:54
  And I think to myself, huh? I wonder how many other people
• 1:57
  do this out in the world. I wonder how many other people
• 1:59
  try to carry and Thing at once. Now, mind you, I also have a
• 2:03
  giant 40-ounce tumbler, stainless steel, tumbler with me
• 2:08
  with a straw sticking out of it. That had a shake in it and of
• 2:11
  course, I'm trying to carry this all and not get myself covered
• 2:15
  in. What's left in the shade
• 2:16
  container as well as not break anything that I'm carrying.
• 2:20
  But you know how that works like when you're carrying everything,
• 2:23
  you know, you're going to drop something, you just know it's
• 2:25
  inevitable, you're going to drop something.
• 2:27
  And of course, one of the boxes slips out And then the next
• 2:31
  thing, you know, part of the stuff that I had purchased gift
• 2:35
  cards are on the ground and I'm looking at myself and I'm going.
• 2:38
  What am I doing? I don't have that far to go.
• 2:41
  I don't, I don't live where I have to carry it way upstairs.
• 2:45
  I mean, honestly, from the where I pull in with my vehicle to get
• 2:49
  inside, to get to the mud room is not that far.
• 2:53
  So what is the purpose for the struggle and I stopped, and I
• 2:57
  was going to record something totally different today.
• 2:58
  But then I thought this is so For Oracle for how we are as
• 3:02
  human beings and what we do to ourselves because the reality
• 3:05
  is, we all do this crap. We all say, okay, I'm going to
• 3:09
  carry all the bags so to speak in as the big metaphor goes.
• 3:14
  Now, I'm physically doing this, but I realized, wow, I do this
• 3:17
  all the time. I take on more than I should and
• 3:20
  I'm like, I can make it, I can do it.
• 3:22
  And it's almost like there's this mental challenge with
• 3:25
  myself of saying no, no, I can get this done.
• 3:27
  I can carry all these bags. I can do all this.
• 3:29
  Instead of just saying, Let me walk inside and there was
• 3:32
  nothing in there, except one container of orange juice that
• 3:35
  was urgent to get into the refrigerator.
• 3:37
  Other than that, what, what am I struggling for it?
• 3:41
  And it's not like I live in a high crime rate area where
• 3:43
  someone's going to come and take the stuff out of my vehicle,
• 3:48
  very weird, how this works in our head.
• 3:50
  So I thought, you know, I have to sit with this for a bit.
• 3:53
  So as I'm as I'm taking this out and pulling it apart, I'm
• 3:58
  realizing how much We all do this.
• 4:01
  How much I do this? How much I can I refuse to say.
• 4:05
  Okay, I'm just going to stop and I'm going to say, nope, that's
• 4:08
  not going to happen. I've been better at it in the
• 4:10
  last couple years where I've really said, no, I can't take on
• 4:14
  any more. No, I've got to draw a line in
• 4:16
  the sand. As far as certain things with my
• 4:19
  schedule go. But honestly I still see Bunches
• 4:23
  of places where I can fix this where I don't have to carry all
• 4:27
  the bags at once and spread it out if I have to or just be more
• 4:32
  realistic with time frames or just be more kind to myself
• 4:37
  about the amount of things that I actually can handle without
• 4:41
  having the stress of it. So I'm going to throw the
• 4:44
  gauntlet down to you guys today and say, how many bags are you
• 4:47
  carrying? Why are you trying to carry
• 4:50
  Everything at Once? How many things do you drop
• 4:52
  along the way? Because I know this is the thing
• 4:55
  that happens to all of us. And yes, I dropped my stuff on
• 4:59
  the ground today and Today, it was just things, but I wonder
• 5:03
  how many times, it's not just things.
• 5:05
  So I'm going to be very acutely aware of this for myself and you
• 5:10
  guys should look at this. This is this is not something
• 5:13
  that I think is a something that should be overlooked especially
• 5:17
  at the end of the year when we're trying to really figure
• 5:20
  out what we want to do next and how we want to move forward and
• 5:24
  the things that we want to maybe leverage to other people or give
• 5:27
  ourselves some Grace for. So take a look at it.
• 5:30
  Put the bags down. Make a couple trips.
• 5:33
  All right, I hope you all have a blessed day.
• 5:35
  I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
• 5:30
  Put the bags down. Make a couple trips.
• 5:33
  All right, I hope you all have a blessed day.
