  Hey, everybody. Good morning.
• 0:30
  Many years ago I was in a store called the Christmas Tree Shop.
• 0:34
  They're no longer open. It was a New England thing and
• 0:38
  it was one of my favorite places.
• 0:40
  It they kind of had all of these eclectic things that they would
• 0:44
  carry based on a just a bunch of different, you know, they would
• 0:51
  buy stuff from oversold stuff. And it was, it was kind of like
• 0:54
  going to a flea market, but it was an actual store.
• 0:57
  And inside this store, I was lucky enough to find 2 bowls for
• 1:04
  feeding the dogs. One said water inside of it and
• 1:07
  one said food inside of it. And there were big white bowls
• 1:11
  and I loved them. And they, they, they were heavy
• 1:14
  so that, you know, the dog couldn't flip them over.
• 1:16
  And I actually, at the time that I got these bowls, we had an
• 1:20
  American bulldog named Bishop and a small Chihuahua named
• 1:25
  Buddha and a dog, a mix Pitbull boxer mix named Chloe.
• 1:31
  And Chloe actually came with Mark.
• 1:35
  When I met Mark, Chloe came with Mark.
• 1:38
  And I was obsessed with Chloe. I loved her.
• 1:40
  She was like one of the sweetest animals you could ever imagine.
• 1:43
  And I just adored her. And then, you know, we added
• 1:47
  Bishop and then we added Buddha. So we had three dogs.
• 1:50
  And so I would free feed at that time.
• 1:53
  So I needed a big bowl and I got these.
• 1:55
  And it was, it was a very special time in my life.
• 1:59
  I hadn't had a dog in quite a few years.
• 2:02
  And when I met Chloe, she had a massive impact.
• 2:06
  Then we got Bishop and he had a massive impact.
• 2:10
  And they just, and Buddha, same thing all just they all had very
• 2:15
  special, special impact. So I get these bowls one day and
• 2:18
  they're inexpensive. They're not, they're not grand
• 2:21
  bowls. Let me be very clear about this,
• 2:23
  but they're nice bowls and I keep them for years and years
• 2:28
  and years. I have these bowls and then one
• 2:31
  day years later here at the house I'm in now, way after
• 2:37
  these dogs have passed away, I drop one of the the bowls that
• 2:42
  the bowl that says food inside of it.
• 2:43
  I drop it just the right way in the sink and it splits into 3
• 2:48
  chunks. And I panicked.
• 2:51
  I was like no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 2:53
  I love this bowl. I have to, I have to fix this
• 2:56
  bowl. And my son looked at me and he's
• 2:59
  like, mom, you can get a different bowl.
• 3:00
  And I was like, yes, I can get a different bowl, but I don't want
• 3:03
  to get a different bowl. I want to fix this bowl.
• 3:06
  So I take out my glue and I try gluing it with like regular
• 3:10
  super glue and nothing happens. It's not sticking well, maybe
• 3:14
  because of the type of ceramic. So I'm like, no, I'm not getting
• 3:17
  rid of it. I'm not getting rid of these
• 3:18
  bowls. So I immediately go and to the
• 3:21
  hardware store and I start looking for something that's
• 3:24
  going to be able to like stick to ceramic.
• 3:27
  And I find this Gorilla gloom that's like gel, which on a side
• 3:32
  note, you don't want to get on your fingers because your
• 3:34
  fingers will stick together. And yes, that happened.
• 3:36
  And yes, I looked like I was, I was panicked because my fingers
• 3:40
  were stuck together. But that's not the first time
• 3:43
  that's happened. However, I get the bowl and I
• 3:46
  stick it back together and my son is asking me about it and
• 3:50
  says, why is it that we can't just get rid of this bowl?
• 3:54
  And I said, I don't know. I I just don't want to get rid
• 3:57
  of it. And I didn't really know at that
• 4:01
  moment, but I knew I didn't want to get rid of it.
• 4:03
  Well, pass time passes by. Time passes by and I'm still
• 4:08
  like always thinking about this bowl.
• 4:11
  And the other day I was washing the bowl and all of a sudden I
• 4:15
  had this thing that popped right into my head that was very clear
• 4:20
  and very distinct. And it was this bowl just
• 4:23
  represents all the dogs that have been here, all the dogs
• 4:26
  that have lived in this with you in your life in this lifetime.
• 4:31
  All these dogs have passed through and you have you have
• 4:36
  them like, you know, represented in this bowl.
• 4:39
  I mean, now I have Lucy and I have Beaufort and I had those
• 4:45
  and I'm like, Oh my gosh, it represents their lives.
• 4:48
  It represents me caring for them.
• 4:51
  And it's just a silly bowl. I mean, it's, it's just a bowl,
• 4:54
  my friends, but it's what it represents.
• 4:57
  So sometimes. And I'm still using the same
• 5:00
  bowl with the glue and I'm not getting rid of it.
• 5:03
  And if it broke open again, I'd go get the glue and I'd fix it
• 5:06
  again. Fortunately, it wasn't the water
• 5:08
  bowl because we know it would leak, but the food bowl is
• 5:11
  perfectly fine. And the thing that I love about
• 5:14
  recognizing this, even after all this time, and my point of
• 5:17
  telling you this is sometimes you won't know things and you
• 5:21
  don't need to know the why. You don't need to know the why.
• 5:24
  You just need to know the feeling that you're getting.
• 5:28
  And that's what this is about. So I hope you guys recognize
• 5:32
  that and tap into it because it's important for your mental
• 5:35
  health to say I don't need to know, but I just know I'm not
• 5:38
  ready to do that. OK, great.
• 5:40
  And then you move on and I'm still going to keep my bowl.
• 5:44
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:46
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
