  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermindset coach, creative strategist, and also happened to
• 0:10
  be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
• 0:16
  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
• 0:20
  some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning from a very wet, rainy, cold, dark
• 0:32
  farm. Sun is coming up slowly Sunday
• 0:35
  morning and these are always the days when I go, oh boy, I can't.
• 0:41
  I love rainy days when it happens on a Sunday and I don't
• 0:45
  know why. I, I mean, I didn't know why
• 0:48
  until I decided I was going to talk about this today.
• 0:51
  But there's something from my childhood that I used to love my
• 0:54
  mother while she was very anxious about many things and
• 0:57
  gave me many gifts of anxiety and things like that.
• 1:01
  She loved to have days where we just sat in and watched old
• 1:06
  movies. And I remember her, she was
• 1:09
  obsessed. She didn't cook well.
• 1:10
  God love her. She did not cook well, but she
• 1:12
  tried, but she didn't cook well. But she used to love everything
• 1:16
  that came out of a can. Exact opposite of me.
• 1:20
  But she would make me oyster Stew in Campbell's, like
• 1:25
  Campbell's used to sell. I don't even know if they still
• 1:27
  sell it because it's not something I would get.
• 1:28
  But she would make oyster Stew, and it was really just a Milky
• 1:32
  broth with oysters in it. I mean, there's no other way to
• 1:36
  describe it. And she would line the the my
• 1:39
  little plate with Ritz crackers to dip into it, although it
• 1:44
  wasn't even thick to dip into. It was like milk more than
• 1:47
  anything. And she would make me tea.
• 1:50
  And we would sit and we would watch Doris Day movies or old,
• 1:55
  old movies with Jimmy Stewart and you name it, all the old
• 1:59
  oldies but goodies, and wrap me in a blanket on the couch and
• 2:04
  light in a fire in the fireplace.
• 2:06
  And it actually wasn't even a fireplace.
• 2:08
  It was more like one of those little potbelly stoves.
• 2:10
  And she would light a fire in there and she wouldn't get
• 2:14
  dressed. She'd stay in her bathrobe, and
• 2:17
  it was the few times that I remember consciously of her
• 2:22
  being relaxed, believe it or not, like really just having
• 2:25
  fun. She would sit and knit or
• 2:27
  crochet or needlepoint and I would draw and watch the movie
• 2:32
  and we were just completely chilled out.
• 2:34
  Now most of the time my dad would would be working because
• 2:38
  he worked on a lot of weekends for what he did.
• 2:40
  And if he wasn't working, he would come in and he would sleep
• 2:43
  on the couch, lie down on the couch, talk, talk to me about my
• 2:47
  drawings or whatever. But he would just always chill
• 2:50
  out. Or when he got home, we had to
• 2:51
  switch movies and we had to watch something that had to do
• 2:55
  with the westerns. Like there were always when he
• 2:57
  was around, we always had westerns on, which was fine with
• 2:59
  me. I really didn't care.
• 3:01
  But the point of all of this is when these days show up, how
• 3:05
  does it shift me? So the first thing, soon as I
• 3:07
  let the dog out this morning, I had completely different plans
• 3:10
  today, what I was going to do. And I forgot that it was
• 3:12
  supposed to really rain. And then I opened up the door
• 3:16
  and I saw the rain. Because of course Buford turns
• 3:18
  around and looks at me, and he's like, are you kidding me?
• 3:21
  Because he hates to go out in the rain.
• 3:23
  Except he'll jump in the pond and be wet whenever he feels
• 3:26
  like it, but not the rain. So I'm looking at him, he's
• 3:30
  looking at me. And I was like instantaneously.
• 3:32
  I was like, I have to get my drawers done really quickly.
• 3:35
  I need to get out and do everything that I need to do.
• 3:37
  And I don't mean getting the girls out.
• 3:39
  Today is a morning where I usually will run out and do
• 3:42
  caught the Costco run, the grocery store run, whatever.
• 3:46
  So my first thought was do it quickly, get it done so you can
• 3:49
  get home and get in your pajamas.
• 3:52
  And I started laughing because it was such an instantaneous
• 3:56
  reaction. And I was like, why am I so hell
• 3:59
  bent on doing this so quickly? And then I remembered the wiring
• 4:03
  and then I remembered the whole thing with my mom.
• 4:05
  And I was like, Oh my gosh, here it comes.
• 4:08
  So of course now that is my intent today.
• 4:11
  Today will be a day where I honor my mother and I go and do
• 4:15
  something that's like that. Now this afternoon will be
• 4:19
  interesting because it's football day and so everybody's
• 4:22
  going to be watching football and my husband will be right
• 4:25
  there with them watching football.
• 4:27
  So the important thing is to remember I honor those little
• 4:33
  tiny things, honor them when they show up, if they make you
• 4:36
  smile and they make you feel good.
• 4:38
  So I will go out, do all my chores, come back and put my
• 4:41
  pajamas on. I will be in my pajamas all day
• 4:44
  today and I will be chilled out and I will be having fun doing
• 4:48
  something, probably ordering seeds, planting gardens.
• 4:52
  Maybe I've got to do a little paperwork.
• 4:54
  Yeah, I'll get that done too. But guess what?
• 4:56
  The most part, fun part of this day will be all about honoring
• 4:59
  that. So if it's raining, it's cold.
• 5:02
  It's gross where you are. Find something like that to make
• 5:05
  it great. Because I'm actually smiling
• 5:07
  about it instead of being miserable about it now.
• 5:09
  Now that I remembered that. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:13
  you have a cozy day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:16
  Bye.
