  Coop and let's start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So today is a is a day for me where I'm out.
• 0:33
  I'm setting up all of the window boxes on the chicken coop.
• 0:37
  I actually don't even have window boxes on the House.
• 0:39
  I have them on the chicken coop. I have too many plants around
• 0:42
  the rest of the house so on the porches.
• 0:45
  So no window boxes. But in any event, I'm setting
• 0:48
  them all up. We've got multiple ones that
• 0:51
  have to be done and this is part of what I love to think of as
• 0:55
  deliberate creation. Now do I have to do this?
• 0:58
  Do the chicken, does the chicken coop really need to have window
• 1:01
  boxes? No, it doesn't.
• 1:03
  I don't know that they care. I care.
• 1:06
  Do do they feel like they have to have they have a little wagon
• 1:10
  that it actually was a wagon we were using to play pull behind
• 1:14
  the the vehicle when we were going and getting supplies.
• 1:17
  And the wagon wheel broke. And I said, rather than getting
• 1:21
  rid of the wagon because it was an older wagon that we had
• 1:23
  gotten, I said, I would prefer that we keep the wagon and we
• 1:28
  use it for them to have something to hide under in the,
• 1:32
  you know, event of an air attack.
• 1:34
  And my friends always laugh when I say that, but it's very true.
• 1:38
  There are big air attacks here when the Hawks come down.
• 1:42
  And so they need a place to run to often.
• 1:45
  And that happened to be a perfect little spot.
• 1:48
  So right off the edge of the garden, there is a wagon.
• 1:51
  And I have put window boxes on it so one we can see the the
• 1:56
  window boxes filled with flowers.
• 1:58
  And it's it's cute. I'll post a picture of it, but
• 2:00
  it's it, it to me, it just makes perfect sense.
• 2:04
  Now this is part of deliberate creation.
• 2:07
  I have all these other spots that have flowers.
• 2:10
  I have the, the, the visuals of how things go.
• 2:13
  Everything that I do, I work on making it be very deliberate
• 2:17
  because I want it to feel and look a certain way.
• 2:20
  I have a very specific thing with this and it's because I
• 2:24
  want it to feel like right now I'm out here and the sun is
• 2:27
  coming up and the pic and you know, the lighting is coming
• 2:29
  across the garden and it just looks so pretty.
• 2:33
  But it's part of that deliberate.
• 2:35
  Where is the sun going to come up?
• 2:37
  It's thinking of the details. It's going into it.
• 2:40
  It's like finding I want their front of their gate to have all
• 2:44
  of this, these different florals that are coming up, all
• 2:48
  different flowers. And it's working, but it takes
• 2:51
  time and deliberate creation often takes time and we have to
• 2:56
  be patient with it. So I'm not always the most
• 2:59
  patient person and I have to remind myself deliberate
• 3:02
  creation takes time. Deliberate creation takes time
• 3:06
  and I've got to allow myself to do it.
• 3:09
  My problem is my creative brain usually never shuts off.
• 3:13
  So it's obviously always working and morphing.
• 3:16
  And this is where I can sometimes have to temper myself
• 3:20
  and say, OK, did I finish what my first one was?
• 3:23
  Do I need to pull back? Where do I need to go?
• 3:25
  Because I have really like, that is a true thing for me.
• 3:28
  Like I just keep going with ideas and growing and growing
• 3:32
  and growing. And sometimes it's like a lot
• 3:34
  even for me. And I have to say, no, I'm going
• 3:37
  to finish this. So over the years I have learned
• 3:40
  that I can pace myself and I can say, OK, that is a great idea.
• 3:44
  I'm going to use it, but just not right now.
• 3:46
  I'm going to put this in the parking lot.
• 3:48
  And I have a notebook and I write it on the cover of it.
• 3:51
  It's the parking lot. And I put ideas in there that
• 3:55
  I'm not ready to drive, but I know that I want to do.
• 3:58
  And then I can go to it. And I add to this parking lot a
• 4:01
  lot. I go to it, I pull out the idea
• 4:03
  that I may have had. I want to make sure I come back
• 4:06
  to them. Like I have a vacation coming up
• 4:09
  and one of the things I want to do on my vacation is renovate
• 4:12
  the inside of the chicken coop. You know it's been 2 years since
• 4:16
  this coop was painted inside. I have a new idea for how I want
• 4:21
  to add an area for where the babies would go when we hatch
• 4:26
  more out probably next year. And I, I want to renovate it
• 4:31
  before it gets too hot. Now, some might say, well,
• 4:34
  that's not a fun thing to do on your vacation, but it is for me.
• 4:39
  And one of the things that I think is so important to
• 4:42
  remember is when you're deliberately creating, you often
• 4:45
  feel rejuvenated. And that's what a vacation is
• 4:48
  all about. I'm not the kind of person that
• 4:50
  likes to just go sit somewhere and I and I just like, I love
• 4:56
  thinking and deliberately putting something out there.
• 4:59
  So for me it's great. So you've got to know yourself.
• 5:03
  You've got to temper yourself. You're going to think about what
• 5:05
  you want to, to deliberately create and stay focused on that.
• 5:10
  And then you can add more to it. But it's just saying the words.
• 5:14
  I'm going to deliberately create this.
• 5:16
  I'm going to do this this way. It's when you make declarations.
• 5:19
  The Iams are such a big part of the process.
• 5:22
  So give it a try and see if it works for you.
• 5:25
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:27
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
