1
00:00:01,034 --> 00:00:04,304
we're good to start, There.

2
00:00:04,838 --> 00:00:05,005
Okay.

3
00:00:05,005 --> 00:00:06,806
The studio is looking really good today.
They didn't really.

4
00:00:06,806 --> 00:00:08,008
Nice job here.

5
00:00:08,008 --> 00:00:11,544
Yeah, well, what's good today is I look
forward to this each and every week.

6
00:00:11,544 --> 00:00:14,014
I was hanging out with you and, sharing.

7
00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:15,181
And by the way, thank you so much.

8
00:00:15,181 --> 00:00:18,184
In case you're just tuning in,
what's good with John and Joyce?

9
00:00:18,351 --> 00:00:20,854
And we focus on silver linings.

10
00:00:20,854 --> 00:00:24,724
What's good we try to stay away from
the negativity is so much of it out there

11
00:00:24,724 --> 00:00:25,425
in the real world.

12
00:00:25,425 --> 00:00:28,261
When you listen to this show, exactly.

13
00:00:28,261 --> 00:00:29,829
When you listen to this, watch it.

14
00:00:29,829 --> 00:00:32,098
We just want to focus on positivity.

15
00:00:32,098 --> 00:00:33,266
I know it sounds Kumbaya.

16
00:00:33,266 --> 00:00:36,269
We've said that before, but, you know,
it's, I think the world needs it.

17
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:38,538
That's what I'm hearing from,
you know, viewers and listeners.

18
00:00:38,538 --> 00:00:40,740
Anyway. Yeah, I agree.

Radio and John Seville

You're you're you're
you're a world renowned author.

26
00:00:55,889 --> 00:00:58,591
You're a therapist. You're a supermom.

27
00:00:58,591 --> 00:01:01,594
You're a loyal friend. All that nice.

28
00:01:01,628 --> 00:01:02,495
You're a great baker.

29
00:01:03,630 --> 00:01:06,933
Oh, you know,
I'm also a person who found interviews.

30
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:08,635
I love them, I love them.

31
00:01:08,635 --> 00:01:11,638
I didn't know I had, you know,

32
00:01:12,405 --> 00:01:14,240
they're beautiful.

33
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,543
I know you're very color coordinated.

34
00:01:16,543 --> 00:01:18,278
You know, you always, you know.

35
00:01:18,278 --> 00:01:20,580
Yeah.

36
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:21,915
Amazing thing this morning

37
00:01:21,915 --> 00:01:25,018
because let's just say
even the undergarments are pink.

38
00:01:25,185 --> 00:01:26,052
Yeah.

39
00:01:26,052 --> 00:01:27,387
You know,

40
00:01:27,387 --> 00:01:30,523
interesting about we talked about visuals
before when people watch

41
00:01:30,824 --> 00:01:34,661
and the majority of the people I talk
to listen more than they

42
00:01:34,661 --> 00:01:39,032
watch and talk about their
they're not like yours anymore.

43
00:01:39,065 --> 00:01:41,734
Like, listen to the podcast right then
and watch it.

44
00:01:41,734 --> 00:01:44,204
They're usually,
you know, on on the treadmill.

45
00:01:44,204 --> 00:01:45,405
They're in the car.

46
00:01:45,405 --> 00:01:48,374
Always curious
about where people are viewing from

47
00:01:48,842 --> 00:01:52,645
speak spake Leon Spinks, the old boxer.

48
00:01:52,645 --> 00:01:52,846
Right.

49
00:01:52,846 --> 00:01:56,616
Leon Spinks, she's sparkly shoes.

50
00:01:56,683 --> 00:01:58,418
Yeah. You know where I got them?

51
00:01:59,652 --> 00:02:00,587
Yeah.

52
00:02:00,587 --> 00:02:03,890
There's was an old song back in the day
called Pink Shoelaces, which I, we were

53
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:08,828
talking about author Dodie Stevens,
and I haven't said that name in 100 years.

54
00:02:08,828 --> 00:02:11,831
It just came out all right. Right.

55
00:02:11,931 --> 00:02:15,969
Because as radio geeks,
we always talk in song titles.

56
00:02:16,336 --> 00:02:18,571
We're up at the radio
station, we'll have a conversation,

57
00:02:18,571 --> 00:02:20,807
but we'll use song titles
as the conversation.

58
00:02:20,807 --> 00:02:22,909
It's, you know, just inside geek stuff.

59
00:02:22,909 --> 00:02:24,410
Yeah,

60
00:02:24,410 --> 00:02:27,413
I know there's a song coming
through my head lately.

61
00:02:28,448 --> 00:02:30,750
Going on in my head, little Anthony.

62
00:02:30,750 --> 00:02:32,552
Oh, let's see.

63
00:02:32,552 --> 00:02:35,488
Oh. You sure you.

64
00:02:35,488 --> 00:02:38,925
But it's not someone I've heard in years

65
00:02:38,958 --> 00:02:41,961
and years, and it's playing in my head.

66
00:02:42,195 --> 00:02:43,796
Jane. Oliver.

67
00:02:43,796 --> 00:02:46,132
Jane. Oliver.
I've heard. I've heard of her.

68
00:02:46,132 --> 00:02:46,466
Yeah.

69
00:02:46,466 --> 00:02:51,304
She's a great singer, great vocalist,
very unique.

70
00:02:52,038 --> 00:02:55,475
Her songs, it's a little haunting.

71
00:02:57,043 --> 00:03:00,346
A serial affair in a sense.

72
00:03:00,847 --> 00:03:03,583
Not quite anything real, but,
you know, different.

73
00:03:03,583 --> 00:03:05,251
Not quite that,

74
00:03:05,251 --> 00:03:07,754
but she's saying I.

75
00:03:07,754 --> 00:03:09,289
Oh, the Rockville rocket.

76
00:03:09,289 --> 00:03:11,157
Connecticut's own Gene Pitney.

77
00:03:11,157 --> 00:03:13,126
Love, love loved him.

78
00:03:13,126 --> 00:03:15,728
Yes. You know he's he's wonderful.

79
00:03:15,728 --> 00:03:19,399
I'm laughing about it because I worked,
a couple of shows with them,

80
00:03:19,999 --> 00:03:22,802
and I kept saying to everyone,

81
00:03:22,802 --> 00:03:27,073
I think I'm, I'm never nervous
meeting a celebrity.

82
00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:29,008
I just never was.

83
00:03:29,008 --> 00:03:32,011
You know, I get excited, but not nervous.

84
00:03:32,512 --> 00:03:33,780
But I was watching.

85
00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:35,515
I can't tell how many people around me.

86
00:03:35,515 --> 00:03:36,616
He's a legend.

87
00:03:36,616 --> 00:03:37,617
Yes he is.

88
00:03:37,617 --> 00:03:39,752
A lot of the people didn't know who.

89
00:03:39,752 --> 00:03:41,187
Right?

90
00:03:41,187 --> 00:03:41,921
Right.

91
00:03:41,921 --> 00:03:44,390
And I said, you don't know him.

92
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:45,725
He's from Connecticut.

93
00:03:45,725 --> 00:03:48,962
Yeah. You know, he's he's a legend, right?

94
00:03:49,128 --> 00:03:52,131
So, yeah, that was a
that was a fun night.

95
00:03:52,565 --> 00:03:54,567
But the thing with the Jane Oliver's song,

96
00:03:55,635 --> 00:03:58,404
as she's singing his song,

97
00:03:58,404 --> 00:04:02,442
he comes on in the bridge. Wow.

98
00:04:02,775 --> 00:04:07,480
And this song is half head,
half heartache. Yes.

99
00:04:07,847 --> 00:04:08,581
Beautiful ballad.

100
00:04:08,581 --> 00:04:11,584
It builds. It builds.

101
00:04:11,818 --> 00:04:13,453
And I had,

102
00:04:13,453 --> 00:04:17,023
I had a really profound feeling.

103
00:04:17,123 --> 00:04:20,059
Listen, boy,
this music for you has feelings.

104
00:04:20,059 --> 00:04:20,660
It really does.

105
00:04:20,660 --> 00:04:22,829
And if you're not familiar
with Gene Pitney, those of you

106
00:04:22,829 --> 00:04:24,197
watching and listening right now just,

107
00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:28,101
you know, Google and go to Spotify,
Pandora, iTunes, check him out.

108
00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:31,037
An amazing voice, a really great talent.

109
00:04:31,037 --> 00:04:31,938
Yeah.

110
00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:32,438
Oh yeah.

111
00:04:32,438 --> 00:04:34,307
That was a movie.
A Town Without Pity, too.

112
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:37,143
And I guess it must have been his vocals,
right?

113
00:04:37,143 --> 00:04:38,745
Right. Yeah.

114
00:04:38,745 --> 00:04:43,416
So yeah, that song really got to me
and brought out a lot.

115
00:04:43,416 --> 00:04:47,120
And, I you have a lot of grief. Yeah.

116
00:04:49,455 --> 00:04:50,890
You could,
you could tell with Joyce music.

117
00:04:50,890 --> 00:04:54,427
So our passion, you know, I mean, just,
you know, we we go down that rabbit hole

118
00:04:54,427 --> 00:04:57,430
really quick, you know, you just mention
the song and bam, there we go.

119
00:04:57,597 --> 00:04:59,299
Yeah, that you guys do too.

120
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:01,034
I think everybody does that.

121
00:05:01,034 --> 00:05:01,401
Yeah.

122
00:05:01,401 --> 00:05:06,172
So, anyway, it was
I felt it was cathartic in a lot of ways.

123
00:05:06,506 --> 00:05:09,509
I don't know why
that song showed up in my mind.

124
00:05:10,109 --> 00:05:12,345
And then I put it on YouTube

125
00:05:12,345 --> 00:05:15,882
and you don't see,
you know, the visuals, just the audio.

126
00:05:16,449 --> 00:05:19,519
And I love the bridge.

127
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:22,989
So have, have and have and one more song
I have to mention

128
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:25,992
Gene Pitney, my all time
favorite, Every Breath You Take.

129
00:05:26,259 --> 00:05:28,394
Oh every, every breath you take.

130
00:05:28,394 --> 00:05:32,699
It just goes, you know, it starts off
really slow and then it crescendos.

131
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,735
You know, that was that was another song.

132
00:05:35,735 --> 00:05:36,302
That's a good point.

133
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,339
But every breath you take with you right
police, Every breath You take,

134
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,342
which was the biggest song of the 1980s.

135
00:05:42,642 --> 00:05:46,346
The number one song in the entire decade,
which we play on the River.

136
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:49,349
1059 she plug it singing

137
00:05:49,415 --> 00:05:52,118
yeah, you know, it's like Barbra Streisand
singing people.

138
00:05:52,118 --> 00:05:56,389
The reason why he hates singing that song
is because it's.

139
00:05:56,389 --> 00:05:59,392
I mean, what's the stalking song,

140
00:05:59,959 --> 00:06:01,828
right? It's a stalking song.

141
00:06:01,828 --> 00:06:03,262
But I didn't take it as that.

142
00:06:03,262 --> 00:06:06,299
Back when he first recorded I took it.

143
00:06:06,299 --> 00:06:07,467
I was very passionate.

144
00:06:07,467 --> 00:06:08,067
Right?

145
00:06:08,067 --> 00:06:10,703
Like, every step you take, I am watching.

146
00:06:10,703 --> 00:06:12,105
Oh I know, yes, it it.

147
00:06:12,105 --> 00:06:15,074
And it's like a song by 
the song by R.E.M.

148
00:06:15,074 --> 00:06:17,477
called This Goes Out to the one I love.

149
00:06:17,477 --> 00:06:20,113
A lot of times I meet together,
I get together with Brian Rooms

150
00:06:20,113 --> 00:06:22,682
to talk about music
because I deejay a lot of weddings

151
00:06:22,682 --> 00:06:23,950
and they'll say, I want that song.

152
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:26,953
I say, you know,
that's really not a love song.

153
00:06:26,953 --> 00:06:29,055
It's a song about, you know, betrayal.

154
00:06:30,123 --> 00:06:30,923
What is this?

155
00:06:30,923 --> 00:06:33,926
This one goes out to the one
I love by R.E.M.,

156
00:06:34,127 --> 00:06:38,965
one of my favorite bands of the 80s
is about betrayal, and people just hear

157
00:06:38,965 --> 00:06:42,568
this goes out to the one I love,
like a request, but it's not a love song.

158
00:06:43,770 --> 00:06:45,071
Not a love song at all.

159
00:06:45,071 --> 00:06:46,539
Like every breath you take.
You don't want that.

160
00:06:46,539 --> 00:06:48,841
Maybe at the divorce party

161
00:06:48,841 --> 00:06:51,077
you could play that at the wedding.

162
00:06:51,077 --> 00:06:54,080
Because I remember someone telling you
that,

163
00:06:55,014 --> 00:06:58,017
I don't think.

164
00:06:58,751 --> 00:07:01,087
Just likes the song.

165
00:07:01,087 --> 00:07:03,990
That's right, that's right.

166
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:06,793
What are we supposed
to be talking about today, anyway?

167
00:07:06,793 --> 00:07:09,028
We lose our train of thought here.

168
00:07:09,028 --> 00:07:10,463
Love talking about music.

169
00:07:10,463 --> 00:07:12,465
Yeah. Me too, me too.

170
00:07:12,465 --> 00:07:14,400
And thank you for playing Billy Squier.

171
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,835
And we're on the radio this morning.

172
00:07:15,835 --> 00:07:17,270
Yes. For you.

173
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:18,805
Music is Billy Squier.

174
00:07:18,805 --> 00:07:20,873
The Beatles, if you throw that.

175
00:07:20,873 --> 00:07:22,909
Yep, I am.

176
00:07:22,909 --> 00:07:27,046
Yeah, we play a little bit of both on on
that on our station to an early Beatles.

177
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,514
Right.

178
00:07:28,514 --> 00:07:28,781
Yeah.

179
00:07:28,781 --> 00:07:32,819
Anyway, anyway,
some people have said to me

180
00:07:32,819 --> 00:07:36,422
and I thought this could be
a good show topic today that,

181
00:07:37,423 --> 00:07:38,624
you know, choice.

182
00:07:38,624 --> 00:07:41,194
I have tried everything.

183
00:07:41,194 --> 00:07:43,029
I've meditated.

184
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:47,066
I have all kinds of self-help books
and I pray

185
00:07:48,134 --> 00:07:51,037
I don't see any change in my life.

186
00:07:51,037 --> 00:07:54,607
So if, if you dig a little deeper,

187
00:07:55,541 --> 00:07:59,445
I've found that the meditation
is not something they do every day.

188
00:07:59,445 --> 00:08:01,814
It's only sporadically.

189
00:08:01,814 --> 00:08:04,984
And I think you can address
the prayer part of it.

190
00:08:05,451 --> 00:08:08,054
And maybe the you expect

191
00:08:08,054 --> 00:08:11,057
the answer to come right away,
or the exact answer that,

192
00:08:11,624 --> 00:08:15,361
well, Joyce, we live in a world where
everybody wants it yesterday, you know,

193
00:08:15,361 --> 00:08:18,798
and so many people think successful
people come out of a genie bottle.

194
00:08:19,565 --> 00:08:21,467
You know, all of a sudden
they're successful.

195
00:08:21,467 --> 00:08:23,202
They see someone like you,
you know, who's done

196
00:08:23,202 --> 00:08:27,106
so many wonderful things, and they watch
American Idol, they watch The voice,

197
00:08:27,406 --> 00:08:30,243
and they think all of a sudden
these people are up on stage

198
00:08:30,243 --> 00:08:31,611
and they're getting all this,

199
00:08:31,611 --> 00:08:34,914
all these accolades,
but they don't realize all the rejection,

200
00:08:35,414 --> 00:08:38,384
all the people who told them
they couldn't do it on the way up,

201
00:08:38,751 --> 00:08:42,655
all the clubs they played, all the people
that booed them, all the people said,

202
00:08:42,655 --> 00:08:45,791
you coming from a small town and,
you know, delight Arkansas.

203
00:08:46,125 --> 00:08:47,827
I mean, who cares about you?

204
00:08:47,827 --> 00:08:49,428
What makes you think
you're going to make it?

205
00:08:49,428 --> 00:08:53,266
There's always those negative voices,
and most people give up

206
00:08:53,733 --> 00:08:56,736
just when they're in the threshold
of making it.

207
00:08:56,802 --> 00:08:59,972
But to address your point about that,
they sporadically do

208
00:08:59,972 --> 00:09:02,975
things
is something we need to do consistently.

209
00:09:02,975 --> 00:09:04,377
I think the most

210
00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:08,114
I think the greatest trait of anybody
successful is consistency.

211
00:09:08,614 --> 00:09:11,851
Show up
even when you don't want to go out there

212
00:09:11,851 --> 00:09:14,854
and do the things you don't want to do,
even when you don't want to.

213
00:09:15,354 --> 00:09:17,690
And there are so many things
I don't want to do many times,

214
00:09:17,690 --> 00:09:20,526
but I get up,
I want to go to the gym every day,

215
00:09:20,526 --> 00:09:23,296
but I go to the gym every day
because I know it's good for me.

216
00:09:23,296 --> 00:09:26,032
It's good for my insides, it's
good for my outsides.

217
00:09:26,032 --> 00:09:29,035
It helps,
it makes me feel better about myself.

218
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:32,104
But so many people, I want to lose 25
pounds, and I want to lose it

219
00:09:32,104 --> 00:09:35,608
because I'm going to be in a wedding
in a month, and I got to lose 25.

220
00:09:35,641 --> 00:09:37,610
No, it doesn't work out that way.

221
00:09:37,610 --> 00:09:39,345
You have to take time. You.

222
00:09:39,345 --> 00:09:40,212
It's discipline.

223
00:09:40,212 --> 00:09:41,747
It's plodding along.

224
00:09:41,747 --> 00:09:45,117
It's very unsexy to be successful.

225
00:09:45,685 --> 00:09:48,154
And that's why, unfortunately, they talk

226
00:09:48,154 --> 00:09:52,024
about the 95 percentiles
or the 5% to 5% of the people,

227
00:09:52,058 --> 00:09:55,061
the ones 95% of the people who work
for 5% of the other people,

228
00:09:55,528 --> 00:09:58,598
because 5% of the people go out there
and they just they hit it.

229
00:09:59,131 --> 00:10:00,166
Yeah, yeah.

230
00:10:00,166 --> 00:10:03,069
I just put
I would just say be disciplined, too

231
00:10:03,069 --> 00:10:04,270
consistent and disciplined.

232
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:07,106
And I fall short
all the time. We're human.

233
00:10:07,106 --> 00:10:10,543
There are so many times where it's like,
oh, I wish it would happen quicker, but

234
00:10:11,510 --> 00:10:12,411
doesn't, you know,

235
00:10:12,411 --> 00:10:15,948
things tend to happen
when you are out there out and about.

236
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:21,487
And I remember my mother's heart
after a wonderful, wonderful man.

237
00:10:21,554 --> 00:10:23,122
Doctor solution.

238
00:10:23,122 --> 00:10:24,857
Doctor fresh,

239
00:10:24,857 --> 00:10:27,860
Bruce Barouch I think sure.

240
00:10:29,528 --> 00:10:30,463
Yeah.

241
00:10:30,463 --> 00:10:31,964
Oh, I'm not man.

242
00:10:31,964 --> 00:10:36,335
And he said to me
one day when people go to visit,

243
00:10:36,335 --> 00:10:39,338
even if you're going to McDonald's
or you go to a bank,

244
00:10:39,739 --> 00:10:45,478
you don't drive through,
get out of the car, engage with people.

245
00:10:45,745 --> 00:10:47,847
That's what helps your heart.

246
00:10:47,847 --> 00:10:50,249
And and improves your life.

247
00:10:50,249 --> 00:10:55,821
It not only are you walking right
but you're actually speaking to someone.

248
00:10:55,821 --> 00:11:00,593
You may see someone in there that you know
and you do that all the time. John

249
00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:05,197
I know we are out and you are engaging
with people and having conversations.

250
00:11:05,865 --> 00:11:09,135
So when somebody prays
and let's say you're praying,

251
00:11:10,636 --> 00:11:13,172
for their business or whatever,

252
00:11:13,172 --> 00:11:16,409
but if you
if you stay in a small little area

253
00:11:16,909 --> 00:11:19,812
and you don't get out and express
that to someone else

254
00:11:19,812 --> 00:11:22,815
when they say, I have an idea, right,

255
00:11:23,249 --> 00:11:26,719
I've got a friend
or I've got and, whatever.

256
00:11:26,719 --> 00:11:29,655
In fact,
I heard someone speaking yesterday,

257
00:11:29,655 --> 00:11:32,358
when they lived in L.A.

258
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:34,894
They never interacted with people

259
00:11:34,894 --> 00:11:37,663
because you're driving your car
all the time.

260
00:11:37,663 --> 00:11:42,301
But when they moved to New York,
they started going out to a Broadway

261
00:11:42,301 --> 00:11:46,872
play and having dinner and having coffee,
because you can do it by yourself.

262
00:11:47,239 --> 00:11:50,142
But eventually they met a lot of people.

263
00:11:50,142 --> 00:11:54,714
Sure that so I do think that getting back

264
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:57,917
to the original question, so people had

265
00:11:59,085 --> 00:12:02,855
is what you said,
first of all, don't give up.

266
00:12:03,856 --> 00:12:07,126
And maybe not all

267
00:12:07,126 --> 00:12:10,963
players are the answer
the way you want them to be.

268
00:12:11,263 --> 00:12:14,266
Well, Garth Brooks
had a song unanswered Prayers.

269
00:12:15,034 --> 00:12:18,037
I thank God for unanswered prayers

270
00:12:18,471 --> 00:12:20,072
because God am I.

271
00:12:20,072 --> 00:12:23,075
You know, the God universe,
whatever you call it, I call it God.

272
00:12:23,776 --> 00:12:26,412
God knows best.
He knows what's best for us.

273
00:12:26,412 --> 00:12:27,646
And many, many times

274
00:12:27,646 --> 00:12:30,750
things don't happen at that time
because it's not the right time.

275
00:12:31,183 --> 00:12:33,686
If something happened
at that time you tried to force it,

276
00:12:33,686 --> 00:12:36,989
it would be more of a burden
than a blessing. So.

277
00:12:37,156 --> 00:12:40,760
So we everything we've heard that time
that's saying everything happens

278
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:41,627
in God's timing, right?

279
00:12:41,627 --> 00:12:44,263
Timing is everything,
even from a secular standpoint.

280
00:12:44,263 --> 00:12:46,398
If you want to put God in the equation.

281
00:12:46,398 --> 00:12:49,401
But too many times
we force things in our own time

282
00:12:49,735 --> 00:12:52,505
and it ends up,
you know, not being exactly.

283
00:12:52,505 --> 00:12:55,407
And I think our maker
wants the best for us.

284
00:12:55,407 --> 00:12:58,244
So we just have to be patient. Patient.

285
00:12:58,244 --> 00:13:02,381
And it's not easy, but just go out there
and be the best where you are now.

286
00:13:03,015 --> 00:13:06,152
If you don't like the job you're in now,
be grateful for that job.

287
00:13:06,418 --> 00:13:07,820
Be the best person I don't like.

288
00:13:07,820 --> 00:13:10,422
You know, bagging up groceries at,
at a grocery store.

289
00:13:10,422 --> 00:13:13,392
Well, be the best friggin bagger ever.

290
00:13:13,592 --> 00:13:15,661
Yeah, and talk to people.

291
00:13:15,661 --> 00:13:18,130
Look them in the eye. How is your day?

292
00:13:18,130 --> 00:13:18,564
You know?

293
00:13:18,564 --> 00:13:20,533
And can I help you
with this, this and that?

294
00:13:20,533 --> 00:13:23,502
And then you engage, like you
said, in conversation,

295
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:26,505
and then eventually that person might say,
you're really good at what you do.

296
00:13:26,505 --> 00:13:29,175
What's your long term goal?
What would you like to do?

297
00:13:29,175 --> 00:13:30,810
Well, I like to do so and so well.

298
00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:32,444
I just happen to know a person

299
00:13:33,746 --> 00:13:36,749
to address
your point, engaging a conversation.

300
00:13:36,849 --> 00:13:39,852
And everybody knows somebody who knows
somebody who knows somebody.

301
00:13:40,452 --> 00:13:42,087
So put it out in the universe.

302
00:13:42,087 --> 00:13:43,889
So right.

303
00:13:43,889 --> 00:13:44,924
Yeah.

304
00:13:44,924 --> 00:13:47,927
I have a habit of speaking with cashiers.

305
00:13:48,227 --> 00:13:51,230
I love cashiers, I don't hold,

306
00:13:53,199 --> 00:13:54,133
right.

307
00:13:54,133 --> 00:13:56,802
But, yeah, I love speaking especially

308
00:13:56,802 --> 00:14:01,674
to young people
and who don't seem very friendly.

309
00:14:01,674 --> 00:14:06,345
And I've met a few of them,
and I just asked a person

310
00:14:06,345 --> 00:14:10,516
so what's your so what's your
what's your goal like?

311
00:14:10,516 --> 00:14:11,584
What do you love doing?

312
00:14:11,584 --> 00:14:13,285
I love I love the way you say that.

313
00:14:13,285 --> 00:14:14,687
I love it.

314
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:16,455
Yes you do.

315
00:14:16,455 --> 00:14:19,458
That's a gift you have to sing.

316
00:14:19,625 --> 00:14:22,061
So now every time she sees me, she waves.

317
00:14:22,061 --> 00:14:23,495
Yeah. Isn't that great?

318
00:14:23,495 --> 00:14:24,029
Yeah.

319
00:14:24,029 --> 00:14:25,598
It's like the gym I go to.

320
00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:29,068
And I see a couple of these guys behind
the counter, and it's boring for them.

321
00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:30,469
They're just standing there and.

322
00:14:30,469 --> 00:14:32,872
And it's like they're there
for eight hours shifts.

323
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:36,041
And every time I walk in there,
I always say hi to them, call them by name

324
00:14:36,041 --> 00:14:39,345
because people love to hear their names
saying, I really appreciate you guys.

325
00:14:39,345 --> 00:14:41,580
You know, you're always so friendly
when people walk in.

326
00:14:41,580 --> 00:14:43,082
I like the way I notice from a distance.

327
00:14:43,082 --> 00:14:45,684
The other day,
the way you talk to that elderly person.

328
00:14:45,684 --> 00:14:47,319
I thought that was really nice.

329
00:14:47,319 --> 00:14:49,555
And then I'll kind of lean into him
and say, so what's your like?

330
00:14:49,555 --> 00:14:51,657
You said, what's your long term goal?

331
00:14:51,657 --> 00:14:54,793
I guarantee you that when you asked them
and I asked them,

332
00:14:54,793 --> 00:14:57,963
were were among
the very few that ever asked him.

333
00:14:58,163 --> 00:14:59,832
So what's your long term goal?

334
00:14:59,832 --> 00:15:02,034
What do you want to do with your life?

335
00:15:02,034 --> 00:15:05,271
Because I think most people,
especially I hear

336
00:15:05,838 --> 00:15:09,041
what you're hearing
is you're complaining about the price.

337
00:15:09,141 --> 00:15:11,443
Yes, I understand that.

338
00:15:11,443 --> 00:15:13,779
But the cashier can't now, therefore.

339
00:15:13,779 --> 00:15:16,248
So you just stirring up
the pot of negativity.

340
00:15:16,248 --> 00:15:17,883
Which brings me back to

341
00:15:19,051 --> 00:15:20,452
why you

342
00:15:20,452 --> 00:15:23,889
feel you're doing everything
and nothing is happening,

343
00:15:24,356 --> 00:15:27,359
so you can't do short term

344
00:15:27,893 --> 00:15:30,896
prayer thinking positive, positive.

345
00:15:31,363 --> 00:15:34,366
It's the moment you wake up

346
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,835
to walking down the street,

347
00:15:36,835 --> 00:15:39,505
engaging with people.

348
00:15:39,505 --> 00:15:40,572
Don't engage.

349
00:15:40,572 --> 00:15:43,542
And, this.

350
00:15:44,443 --> 00:15:46,011
You know, the prices are high.

351
00:15:46,011 --> 00:15:48,047
Politics and blah blah.

352
00:15:48,047 --> 00:15:50,482
Don't even engage in that because

353
00:15:50,482 --> 00:15:53,953
then it robs you of that precious mind.

354
00:15:54,186 --> 00:15:55,154
That's right.

355
00:15:55,154 --> 00:15:58,157
That energy is not there.

356
00:15:58,290 --> 00:16:01,427
You can't connect where you want to be.

357
00:16:01,994 --> 00:16:04,964
It's like energy attracts like.

358
00:16:05,297 --> 00:16:07,766
That's right. That's why it's for feather.

359
00:16:07,766 --> 00:16:09,969
Flock together, get rich to forage.

360
00:16:09,969 --> 00:16:10,769
Important.

361
00:16:10,769 --> 00:16:13,806
All those things are true for
what's good for the goose

362
00:16:13,806 --> 00:16:16,809
is good for the gander.

363
00:16:16,909 --> 00:16:18,477
I don't know why I threw that in there.

364
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:19,845
I heard somebody say that the other day.

365
00:16:19,845 --> 00:16:21,981
I was like, whoa,
I have to use that somewhere.

366
00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:23,215
You gave me an invoice,

367
00:16:24,683 --> 00:16:26,151
and I'm trying to think

368
00:16:26,151 --> 00:16:29,154
it so I feel like that.

369
00:16:31,023 --> 00:16:32,691
But but it is being, you know,

370
00:16:32,691 --> 00:16:34,994
consistent, being disciplined,
putting yourself out there.

371
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:36,996
I love that to do.

372
00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:41,700
Maybe initially it feels that way, but
the more you do it, the easier it becomes.

373
00:16:42,434 --> 00:16:44,837
And then what happens is

374
00:16:44,837 --> 00:16:49,641
then you feel that negative energy
from other people

375
00:16:49,875 --> 00:16:52,811
and you think, oh, I'm
stepping away, right?

376
00:16:52,811 --> 00:16:53,445
Right.

377
00:16:53,445 --> 00:16:56,915
And you maybe forgot
that you were one of them,

378
00:16:57,649 --> 00:17:00,085
and now you're somebody different,

379
00:17:00,085 --> 00:17:03,956
and you like that feeling,
you like this feeling of saying

380
00:17:04,356 --> 00:17:07,526
instead of saying like,
why is this happening?

381
00:17:07,526 --> 00:17:11,497
Just to say,
you know what, it may be raining,

382
00:17:11,497 --> 00:17:13,866
but you know, we need the rain.

383
00:17:13,866 --> 00:17:15,434
It's good for the earth.

384
00:17:15,434 --> 00:17:16,702
Yes, there could be flooding.

385
00:17:16,702 --> 00:17:18,103
There's always been flooding.

386
00:17:18,103 --> 00:17:21,073
Isn't it great
that we have people who are helpers?

387
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:24,076
There's so many ways
to turn terrible things around.

388
00:17:24,076 --> 00:17:28,280
Tornadoes that have wrecked and
and killed people.

389
00:17:28,547 --> 00:17:31,550
I mean that has always
taken place for sure.

390
00:17:31,717 --> 00:17:35,954
But you can't sit there
and just dwell on that.

391
00:17:36,522 --> 00:17:39,525
You can think about cleaning helpers,

392
00:17:39,558 --> 00:17:42,895
you can think about
the great caring people

393
00:17:42,895 --> 00:17:46,331
you know, you hope will be building homes
and and all of that.

394
00:17:47,066 --> 00:17:51,203
But, and then that will get you started on
we shouldn't be knowing the news.

395
00:17:51,703 --> 00:17:54,039
Oh, no, no, no, don't do it.

396
00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:55,741
I'll check you in 20 minutes.

397
00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:57,876
During the course of the day.
It's all run on loop.

398
00:17:57,876 --> 00:17:58,544
It's right on loop.

399
00:17:58,544 --> 00:18:00,312
No too much negativity.

400
00:18:00,312 --> 00:18:03,148
Community. Community based.

401
00:18:03,148 --> 00:18:05,417
You know
what's going on in your home, right?

402
00:18:05,417 --> 00:18:07,086
How can you help out?

403
00:18:07,086 --> 00:18:10,089
We can't. It's impossible
to help everyone.

404
00:18:10,189 --> 00:18:13,959
You can send a general prayer out
every night, which I do

405
00:18:14,293 --> 00:18:15,160
for the whole world.

406
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,163
Healing for every leader of the world

407
00:18:18,897 --> 00:18:21,600
to be helpful and let it go.

408
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,103
Right? You know, that could be your part.

409
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:28,173
If you want to send money to the Red Cross
Salvation Army, God bless you.

410
00:18:28,207 --> 00:18:29,308
Do that.

411
00:18:29,308 --> 00:18:33,045
You know, if that makes you feel good,
if it makes you feel better,

412
00:18:33,212 --> 00:18:34,213
put it out into the universe.

413
00:18:34,213 --> 00:18:35,948
At the end of the day,
just pray, pray, pray.

414
00:18:35,948 --> 00:18:37,116
And then you're like this.

415
00:18:37,116 --> 00:18:39,985
I'm doing my best
and you take care of the rest.

416
00:18:39,985 --> 00:18:42,821
What if a guy with a big,
you know, enjoy your life?

417
00:18:42,821 --> 00:18:44,690
Exactly. Right? Right.

418
00:18:44,690 --> 00:18:48,760
But but you're it's so easy
to get baited in the negativity.

419
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,562
People do it all the time, right?

420
00:18:50,562 --> 00:18:53,398
The bait and, you know, click bait that.

421
00:18:53,398 --> 00:18:58,036
Oh, I can't believe you're putting out
all that little sake.

422
00:18:58,103 --> 00:18:59,705
Rest in peace.

423
00:18:59,705 --> 00:19:02,441
And it's someone famous, right?

424
00:19:02,441 --> 00:19:05,310
You know, they're not dead.
I mean, why why?

425
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:09,114
Oh, she died or he died and it's like, no.

426
00:19:09,181 --> 00:19:09,648
Yeah.

427
00:19:09,648 --> 00:19:13,152
I just want you to click on the news of
my death has been greatly exaggerated.

428
00:19:13,385 --> 00:19:16,155
Connecticut's own Mark
Twain said that, didn't he?

429
00:19:16,155 --> 00:19:19,424
Who? Hey, back in the day, Mark
Twain and I were good

430
00:19:19,424 --> 00:19:20,893
buddies, hanging out on the river.

431
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,963
Well.

432
00:19:30,135 --> 00:19:33,138
You're.

433
00:19:34,273 --> 00:19:37,209
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad
thing is, it depends on who you talk to.

434
00:19:37,209 --> 00:19:40,179
Your Joyce. My goodness.

435
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:41,013
Right.

436
00:19:41,013 --> 00:19:42,614
But the whole thing is just,
you know, be patient.

437
00:19:42,614 --> 00:19:44,383
It's really hard because.

438
00:19:44,383 --> 00:19:46,618
Because we want we want things now.

439
00:19:46,618 --> 00:19:48,086
We see so many people around us.

440
00:19:48,086 --> 00:19:52,424
We base
our well-being on likes on social media,

441
00:19:52,958 --> 00:19:54,927
or somebody else is doing something
really well.

442
00:19:54,927 --> 00:19:59,398
You people have a tendency sometimes, you
know, to get a little envious or jealous.

443
00:19:59,498 --> 00:20:02,501
Remember, there's enough success
to go around for all of us.

444
00:20:02,534 --> 00:20:06,572
So I rather cheer for people
and it's a good feeling to cheer them.

445
00:20:06,772 --> 00:20:08,707
No, you don't know their story.

446
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:11,710
They just pop like I said it and
just all of a sudden become successful.

447
00:20:11,743 --> 00:20:14,179
But cheer them on
and you feel better about yourself

448
00:20:14,179 --> 00:20:16,215
rather than trying to knock people down.

449
00:20:16,215 --> 00:20:18,850
Knock people down.
And we know people like that.

450
00:20:18,850 --> 00:20:20,752
Oh, no, they probably know somebody.

451
00:20:20,752 --> 00:20:23,188
Oh, they oh,
they probably had plastic surgery.

452
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:26,158
You know, there's right

453
00:20:26,158 --> 00:20:30,162
they want to rock, but they want of
or somebody works out really hard.

454
00:20:30,162 --> 00:20:32,464
Well, they're probably just genetics.
They were born that way.

455
00:20:32,464 --> 00:20:36,101
No, I mean celebrate people's hard work,
celebrate them.

456
00:20:36,368 --> 00:20:37,603
Right? Right.

457
00:20:37,603 --> 00:20:38,570
It makes a big difference.

458
00:20:38,570 --> 00:20:41,240
It does. And when you compliment
that person, you probably made their day.

459
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:45,410
If you see somebody who's done very,
very well, compliment them.

460
00:20:45,677 --> 00:20:48,547
I'm very big on that energy flow.

461
00:20:48,547 --> 00:20:50,649
Yeah, you do that, it bounces back.

462
00:20:50,649 --> 00:20:51,850
It does.

463
00:20:51,850 --> 00:20:52,284
Yeah.

464
00:20:52,284 --> 00:20:55,287
Like a rubber ball puncture or boomerang.

465
00:20:55,420 --> 00:20:56,188
Like a boom.

466
00:20:56,188 --> 00:20:59,191
Like a boomerang out that echo.

467
00:20:59,191 --> 00:20:59,958
Oh. Like in the mount.

468
00:20:59,958 --> 00:21:02,961
Echo echo echo echo

469
00:21:03,595 --> 00:21:05,998
you everybody I fired up today.

470
00:21:05,998 --> 00:21:08,133
Joyce Farnam is fired up.

471
00:21:08,133 --> 00:21:12,237
You know, my my wife said
it's a good thing that you don't do drugs.

472
00:21:12,237 --> 00:21:13,238
Drink.

473
00:21:13,238 --> 00:21:13,672
All right,

474
00:21:13,672 --> 00:21:18,010
then you know, never have, you know, but,
I guess you can count coffee as a drug.

475
00:21:18,043 --> 00:21:18,310
You can't.

476
00:21:18,310 --> 00:21:21,446
You technically, caffeine
is that good because there a

477
00:21:22,414 --> 00:21:25,417
I guess my grandson calls my Snapple a,

478
00:21:29,154 --> 00:21:30,489
Right, right.

479
00:21:30,489 --> 00:21:31,290
Yeah.

480
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:32,724
But what's your favorite drug?

481
00:21:32,724 --> 00:21:33,959
Love is a drug.

482
00:21:33,959 --> 00:21:36,194
Like the old song by Roxy Music.

483
00:21:36,194 --> 00:21:38,263
Love is a drug that I'm thinking of.

484
00:21:38,263 --> 00:21:39,998
Okay, so that one that

485
00:21:41,266 --> 00:21:42,134
music.

486
00:21:42,134 --> 00:21:43,168
Yeah. We were playing that song.

487
00:21:43,168 --> 00:21:46,171
A player back in the day
when you and I were there together.

488
00:21:47,172 --> 00:21:47,973
Love is a drug.

489
00:21:47,973 --> 00:21:50,108
There's another one
you can look up out there.

490
00:21:50,108 --> 00:21:52,344
Yeah. No.

491
00:21:52,344 --> 00:21:54,246
Well I mean I apologize.

492
00:21:54,246 --> 00:21:57,249
Everybody's watching and listening today
because I'm all over the friggin map.

493
00:21:57,749 --> 00:22:00,485
I'm like you know squirrel duh
duh duh duh.

494
00:22:00,485 --> 00:22:03,255
So my wife says,
can you focus on one thing?

495
00:22:03,255 --> 00:22:04,990
You know, it's

496
00:22:04,990 --> 00:22:07,559
yes, you can, focus on the positive.

497
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:09,861
Yeah. That's right. Yeah.

498
00:22:09,861 --> 00:22:12,864
So what we say to people who say

499
00:22:13,465 --> 00:22:16,468
that they're going through a real
tough time and,

500
00:22:16,702 --> 00:22:20,305
they can't seem to get to that, I think.

501
00:22:20,305 --> 00:22:22,207
I think we should just empathize
with them.

502
00:22:22,207 --> 00:22:24,743
The last thing people want to do
is be judged

503
00:22:24,743 --> 00:22:26,678
and this and that, say, listen,
I know how you feel.

504
00:22:26,678 --> 00:22:28,246
I felt the same way.

505
00:22:28,246 --> 00:22:30,515
And I still do feel the same way at times.

506
00:22:30,515 --> 00:22:32,784
But you just keep doing what you're doing.

507
00:22:32,784 --> 00:22:35,087
If it feels right in your heart
and it's something

508
00:22:35,087 --> 00:22:38,290
you really want to go for and do it,
you keep firing away and doing it.

509
00:22:38,590 --> 00:22:41,159
B b bloom where you're planted.

510
00:22:41,159 --> 00:22:42,160
When were you planted? Right now.

511
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,895
And even if it's not where you want to be

512
00:22:43,895 --> 00:22:46,898
and be grateful for that
because gratitude is riches

513
00:22:46,998 --> 00:22:48,300
and the more grateful you are,

514
00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:50,469
the more good things are going to happen
in your life.

515
00:22:50,469 --> 00:22:52,204
I found that in my life.

516
00:22:52,204 --> 00:22:55,073
But you know, let's face it,
I mean, it's not all Pollyanna here.

517
00:22:55,073 --> 00:22:58,410
There are days when I'm frustrated
and I'm sure you are.

518
00:22:58,410 --> 00:23:00,479
It's like, I wish something would happen
quicker than this.

519
00:23:00,479 --> 00:23:03,014
Or oh, man, I didn't see that coming.

520
00:23:03,014 --> 00:23:05,751
Because, I mean, life
throws your curveballs all the time,

521
00:23:05,751 --> 00:23:08,387
but it's all about how you respond to it,
you know?

522
00:23:08,387 --> 00:23:11,390
I mean, everybody watching and listening
right now, you know, it's

523
00:23:11,857 --> 00:23:14,326
we were never promised a free ride
in this world.

524
00:23:14,326 --> 00:23:17,729
You know, our maker said that,
you know, you will have trouble, but

525
00:23:17,929 --> 00:23:18,997
I will always be with you.

526
00:23:18,997 --> 00:23:23,068
And there's always there's
always an escape hatch somewhere, or,

527
00:23:23,568 --> 00:23:26,571
you know, whether we take it or not,
that's up to us.

528
00:23:26,772 --> 00:23:30,575
And what I've learned
during my darkest times in life,

529
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:35,614
and there have been many
and that's where the richness is.

530
00:23:36,248 --> 00:23:41,520
And I've learned to be quiet during
those times, not complaining and just

531
00:23:42,521 --> 00:23:45,724
going inward as to why this is happening,

532
00:23:46,124 --> 00:23:49,361
whether it's an illness
I've been through or death.

533
00:23:51,163 --> 00:23:54,833
It's just a time to get quiet.

534
00:23:55,700 --> 00:23:58,703
And however you do that,
whether it's in prayer

535
00:23:58,703 --> 00:24:02,240
or reading or watching a movie,
maybe crying,

536
00:24:02,774 --> 00:24:05,777
even just,

537
00:24:05,811 --> 00:24:08,814
there's there's a reason for that.

538
00:24:09,548 --> 00:24:12,484
And that's where,

539
00:24:12,484 --> 00:24:16,888
I think like these deep faith it

540
00:24:17,489 --> 00:24:22,093
if even if faith could be a lot of things,
it doesn't have to be, you know,

541
00:24:23,028 --> 00:24:25,831
a belief in anything except,

542
00:24:25,831 --> 00:24:28,233
things will get better.

543
00:24:28,233 --> 00:24:30,936
Stays dark for ever.

544
00:24:30,936 --> 00:24:33,338
Even people who've gone through.

545
00:24:33,338 --> 00:24:36,341
I think the worst tragedy
is losing a child.

546
00:24:37,008 --> 00:24:40,512
Many of them rise up and start

547
00:24:40,712 --> 00:24:44,983
foundations and charities
or they support others

548
00:24:45,417 --> 00:24:50,355
and they take that painting
and they use it for good adversity.

549
00:24:50,355 --> 00:24:52,991
They take adversity
and use it into an opportunity.

550
00:24:52,991 --> 00:24:55,694
And then they,
then they can bless other people.

551
00:24:55,694 --> 00:24:59,498
So when somebody else goes that
through that horrible situation,

552
00:24:59,798 --> 00:25:02,968
they can pat their shoulder or give em a
hug and say, listen, I know how you feel.

553
00:25:03,201 --> 00:25:04,369
I've been there and look.

554
00:25:04,369 --> 00:25:07,639
And if you're in a really good place,
I came out pretty good

555
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:11,877
because they say that every setback
is really a setup for something better.

556
00:25:12,511 --> 00:25:12,744
You know?

557
00:25:12,744 --> 00:25:15,680
Regardless, you may not see that when
you're going through a tragedy you lost.

558
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,617
I mean, no
parent wants to outlive their kids.

559
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,352
I never had kids of my own.

560
00:25:20,352 --> 00:25:22,153
I have a beautiful stepdaughter.

561
00:25:22,153 --> 00:25:24,022
But I have lost a spouse.

562
00:25:24,022 --> 00:25:25,924
I know you've lost a spouse.

563
00:25:25,924 --> 00:25:28,460
But. So we know what pains like.

564
00:25:28,460 --> 00:25:32,130
But everybody watching and listening
right now is not exempt from that.

565
00:25:32,564 --> 00:25:34,366
If you haven't gone
through that pain, you will,

566
00:25:36,635 --> 00:25:37,168
if you live,

567
00:25:37,168 --> 00:25:40,171
if you're
lucky enough to live long enough,

568
00:25:40,205 --> 00:25:42,574
the downside is someone's gonna die.

569
00:25:42,574 --> 00:25:43,141
Exactly.

570
00:25:43,141 --> 00:25:46,545
And I celebrate every wrinkle,
every this and that.

571
00:25:46,578 --> 00:25:48,780
Because it means that I'm still alive.

572
00:25:48,780 --> 00:25:49,681
That I'm still made it.

573
00:25:49,681 --> 00:25:51,216
I'm still up today.

574
00:25:51,216 --> 00:25:53,218
Yeah, yeah, I'm just like that.

575
00:25:53,218 --> 00:25:56,221
Then I have days like, I'm getting,

576
00:25:56,788 --> 00:25:57,923
Yeah. We all feel that way.

577
00:25:57,923 --> 00:25:59,324
I feel them.

578
00:25:59,324 --> 00:26:00,158
Yeah, yeah.

579
00:26:00,158 --> 00:26:05,497
So I would say take a deep breath, relax
your shoulders.

580
00:26:05,497 --> 00:26:07,265
You remember every day.

581
00:26:07,265 --> 00:26:09,801
And I have to remember
you should do those breathing exercises.

582
00:26:09,801 --> 00:26:11,636
The end of these podcasts
every now and then.

583
00:26:11,636 --> 00:26:13,872
Breathing or the body exercises.

584
00:26:13,872 --> 00:26:15,473
You belly breath.

585
00:26:15,473 --> 00:26:19,578
Think like yourself, like a Raggedy
Ann doll sitting in a chair.

586
00:26:20,111 --> 00:26:23,114
And that relaxes all your muscles
because you'll be surprised.

587
00:26:23,181 --> 00:26:24,849
I am surprised to

588
00:26:24,849 --> 00:26:28,286
how many times during the day
my shoulders start creeping up to me. You,

589
00:26:29,621 --> 00:26:32,624
know, and it's not because
you're trying to do trap exercises either.

590
00:26:32,724 --> 00:26:35,093
Ha! Hahaha.

591
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:35,994
Right.

592
00:26:35,994 --> 00:26:40,498
Just, just relax your shoulders,
take a deep breath, and know that this too

593
00:26:40,498 --> 00:26:41,232
shall pass.

594
00:26:41,232 --> 00:26:41,833
Yeah.

595
00:26:41,833 --> 00:26:45,437
You know, I mean,
I was working in a restaurant years ago.

596
00:26:46,037 --> 00:26:46,771
Oh my gosh.

597
00:26:46,771 --> 00:26:51,042
And the summers were really like chicken,
especially down along the shoreline.

598
00:26:51,343 --> 00:26:55,013
And we were working so hard and the owner,

599
00:26:55,547 --> 00:26:58,550
was very Zen like a wonderful person.

600
00:26:58,984 --> 00:27:01,853
And she said, remember, Joy,

601
00:27:01,853 --> 00:27:06,191
you can't stop time soon in the evening
and you'll be home

602
00:27:06,691 --> 00:27:09,694
and you'll be in your bed,
and this will be over,

603
00:27:11,863 --> 00:27:14,866
from this period, a lot of wisdom there.

604
00:27:14,866 --> 00:27:16,534
I forget her saying, yeah.

605
00:27:16,534 --> 00:27:19,537
So when I feel like
I'm having a rough day,

606
00:27:19,604 --> 00:27:22,107
I then think about this day with so many.

607
00:27:22,107 --> 00:27:23,074
Right.

608
00:27:23,074 --> 00:27:25,543
And I would have made it through. Yeah.

609
00:27:25,543 --> 00:27:27,912
And it depends how
I want to make it through.

610
00:27:27,912 --> 00:27:29,447
And those are the days
you really look forward.

611
00:27:29,447 --> 00:27:32,417
You look at that bed
and it looks so good. You do.

612
00:27:32,417 --> 00:27:35,120
You just get in that bed
and you kind of put the pillow.

613
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:37,422
I mean, laying the pillow,
put the blankets over your head

614
00:27:37,422 --> 00:27:39,591
if you want,
and then you wake up the next day.

615
00:27:39,591 --> 00:27:42,594
And if it's a rainy day,
the sun still shining.

616
00:27:43,028 --> 00:27:44,396
Yeah. The sun's still shining.

617
00:27:44,396 --> 00:27:46,064
We just don't see it at that point.

618
00:27:46,064 --> 00:27:47,932
Know all the time that someone complains.

619
00:27:47,932 --> 00:27:52,404
If you see those clouds
above that sunshine, you look right.

620
00:27:52,537 --> 00:27:53,905
Absolutely.

621
00:27:53,905 --> 00:27:58,977
And we thank you so, so much for tuning in
and listening again, watching,

622
00:27:59,344 --> 00:27:59,978
you know, our show.

623
00:27:59,978 --> 00:28:00,945
What's up with John and Joyce?

624

that nowadays.

a lot of pain in the world nowadays.

and share those with somebody.
