EP185 - Small Joys and Little Pleasures

WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:18.359 Good Day, my friend. Welcome to a moment with modes. Thank you 2 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:26.399 so much for downloading the show. I am overjoyed that we have made it 3 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:33.640 to the weekend together. Mary Anne Rod Mocker joins the show and Mary Anne 4 00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:40.719 tells us it is of the small joys and little pleasures that the greatest of 5 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:47.280 our days are built. With all the big world events that are happening right 6 00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:56.119 now, it can be really easy to forget that there is still good in 7 00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:03.359 the world. It's all the more reason to pay attention to those small joys 8 00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:11.879 and relish in them. This weekend let's not only notice the little pleasures, 9 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:17.760 but let's actually look for them. When I got home from work today, 10 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:23.959 my little dog ran down the stairs to greet me. Just as we left, 11 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.760 I noticed that my crows were outside and I said Hey, got to 12 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:34.200 walk the dog, hang out and we got lots of good peanuts and stuff 13 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.000 for you. By the time I got back they were gone, so I 14 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:45.640 stood out in the parking lot and I called out to my crows. I 15 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:51.480 didn't have a whole lot of expectation, but sure enough, after a couple 16 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:57.480 of minutes they came back and I got to go upstairs and fed them some 17 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.680 peanuts, fed them some cat food, and I noticed how healthy they looked, 18 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:07.640 how shiny their feathers were, and I don't know if that's because of 19 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:13.319 US feeding them, but it made me feel good to know that at least 20 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:20.960 these three crows are well fed and they're strong and they're healthy. If you're 21 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:28.400 up early enough, notice that beautiful sunrise. If you're night owl, notice 22 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:35.759 that beautiful sun set. Look at that moon rise. Actually enjoy your morning 23 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.400 copy. Don't just gulp it down. That's what I do. I didn't 24 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:44.159 cope and I tried more enjoy the second one, but this weekend enjoy that 25 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:50.639 first one. If you're into taking bath, throw some oils in your bath 26 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.080 or throw some extra bubbles in. This weekend, go for a walk in 27 00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:01.439 the Sun or the rain, doesn't matter which it is, but just enjoy 28 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:08.159 it, notice the beauty that's all around you, that maybe you just forgotten 29 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:13.840 a little bit about. What was the favorite album yet you used to listen 30 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:19.680 to ten, twenty years ago? Put It on and remember why you loved 31 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:24.919 it so much. Watch your favorite movie, reread your favorite book. It's 32 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:35.240 the little pleasures and the small joys that is what life is made of carpet 33 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:49.879 momentum. My brind I'll talk to you in a couple of days
