• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh today we are talking about the fun little facts that we
• 0:35
  miss in our lives that are just oh such great lessons as they go
• 0:40
  along. So many of you may know if you
• 0:43
  follow me on social media as well.
• 0:46
  I'm always doing projects. Love projects, love to be
• 0:50
  working on things. Just bringing out creativity and
• 0:54
  whatnot. But one of my special Favorite
• 0:57
  Things is to work on stuff for the girls at the chicken coop
• 1:00
  because I don't know, I'm just a nurture and that's just the
• 1:04
  things that I love to do. And one of the things that I
• 1:07
  wanted to do was put a string of lights.
• 1:09
  Solar lights, don't have any power to the coop because it can
• 1:13
  be dangerous. But I wanted to put a string of
• 1:16
  solar lights across the front of the coop.
• 1:18
  So Costco one day and I buy this beautiful perfect size string of
• 1:25
  lights, Edison Light Bulbs to run across the front of the
• 1:28
  coop. I say to my And because it's
• 1:31
  very high up I'm like, hey can you help me with this?
• 1:34
  And of course he says yes, no problem.
• 1:36
  And you have to set them all up and put the string up and it's
• 1:40
  got this, nice big fat, little solar panel on it and I'm super
• 1:44
  excited and we put them up and he says, you have to wait three
• 1:47
  days to charge this up. That's the directions and I'm
• 1:50
  like, three days. That's insane.
• 1:52
  And, of course, I'm resistant to waiting because I have no
• 1:56
  patience in my own life and always have to work on that.
• 1:58
  But I'm progressing. Right.
• 2:01
  I'm like, okay, three days. I'm going to wait three days.
• 2:03
  We're going to see this happen. He switches it on and lo and
• 2:07
  behold nothing happens. I'm like, how can that be?
• 2:11
  So we take the panel down, look at the buttons, because
• 2:14
  sometimes, on the solar things, the little buttons are
• 2:16
  different. But these this is a really nice
• 2:18
  little panel it should work. So, take it down, have it?
• 2:22
  Look at it. Now, my son happens to be the
• 2:25
  kid who can put Ikea together very easily.
• 2:28
  He just his mind works this way. So, I bring him out and I'm
• 2:31
  like, Luke. Can you look at this for me?
• 2:33
  Can you, can you tell me if you see anything that's not working?
• 2:36
  Do we not hook it up, right? He climbs up, he looks at the
• 2:39
  panel. He's like, no, it's I said, is
• 2:41
  it something between this and the little remote control as
• 2:45
  well? He looks, he's like, nope.
• 2:46
  It's it should be working. Okay, great must be broken.
• 2:50
  So I have to find it, go get another box, find a way to
• 2:55
  replace them and lo and behold go get a brand-new box, bring
• 3:00
  the brand. You box back?
• 3:01
  My husband says all right I'll change them out and mind you
• 3:05
  where two weeks into this whole thing that was supposed to be
• 3:07
  hanging. A string of lights simple little
• 3:10
  thing and takes goes to take them down and he tightens up one
• 3:18
  of the light bulbs on the string and all of a sudden it lights up
• 3:23
  and he's like huh? Look at this and he goes.
• 3:28
  I wonder if the light bulbs just weren't tight This whole time.
• 3:31
  Now what's funny about? This is the light bulbs.
• 3:35
  Don't come in the string, the light bulbs are out of the
• 3:38
  string and you have to put them in the string.
• 3:41
  So for some reason, when he put them in the string he put them
• 3:46
  in but he didn't tighten them all the way he just put them in
• 3:49
  and he screwed them in but didn't tighten them all the way
• 3:52
  they require to be really tight. So this whole time as he's going
• 3:57
  along, he's tightening them. They're all turning on.
• 4:00
  All turning on all turning on and there's nothing wrong with
• 4:03
  the first set. Nothing at all wrong with the
• 4:05
  first set. It was absolutely perfectly
• 4:09
  fine. I was super elated standing
• 4:11
  there. Thrilled could not be more
• 4:13
  thrilled. That this was one of the, you
• 4:16
  know, outcomes for the this project.
• 4:18
  So he doesn't have to one change.
• 4:19
  The whole light to, it wasn't broken and three, I get to use
• 4:22
  the new set somewhere else. Now, why are we talking about
• 4:26
  this? Because he's standing there and
• 4:29
  he's looking at me and he's like, I cannot believe that it
• 4:33
  was this the whole time. It was the light bulbs not being
• 4:36
  tightened up and I'm saying I can't believe it either because
• 4:41
  neither of us considered the fact that hey, the light bulbs
• 4:45
  might not be tight. We kept looking at the panel, we
• 4:48
  kept going back to the panel and see why isn't the panel working
• 4:52
  because we couldn't imagine that it.
• 4:54
  Was the light bulb, right? We couldn't imagine that.
• 4:57
  The light bulb was there, or didn't even think of it.
• 4:59
  I didn't even occur to me that the light bulbs wouldn't have
• 5:01
  been screwed in tight. But this is what happens in our
• 5:04
  life with lots of little things, we don't pay attention to the
• 5:07
  stuff that we know we should all the small details and when they
• 5:11
  slip away and they cause us stress it's like right in front
• 5:18
  of us literally right in front of us and we didn't notice it
• 5:24
  because we Even think to check it because we weren't on it and
• 5:27
  that way we should have been so the lesson in the light bulbs is
• 5:31
  that we all have to take the time to stop and pause in the
• 5:35
  beginning. When doing something stop and
• 5:38
  pause and make sure that, you know, would have been a simple
• 5:41
  thing, I know why he didn't tighten them all the way because
• 5:44
  when he just put them in quickly to get them up so he could hang
• 5:47
  them up but he just didn't think to go back and tighten them up
• 5:50
  and those little tiny things those little All moments that
• 5:55
  just are. So seemingly inconsequential
• 6:00
  turn out to cause us the biggest irritations aggravations.
• 6:04
  And push us into a place where we get frustrated.
• 6:09
  So look at the small details. Look at the light bulb.
• 6:13
  Screw the light bulb in tightly. Make sure you've covered your
• 6:16
  bases and watch your little world light up.
• 6:19
  Ha, what? That was a pretty good tie in
• 6:21
  there, wasn't it? I hope you guys have a blessed
• 6:24
  day. Day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 6:26
  Bye.
