Episode Synopsis

Welcome to today's podcast. Today, as the squirrel wrangler, I'm thinking of things that the little things. Not the distractions that you would think that a squirrel might be or see. Not the shiny objects, but the other little things. The little things that we do for each other, sometimes on a whim, sometimes planned, sometimes well thought out and intricately put together. Sometimes just okay. Maybe it is a shiny object that you discover. Or you're driving along and you realize that you need to take a detour.And when you take the detour, you realize you're next to a restaurant that one of your loved ones has some favorite things. And because that loved one is somebody special to you and you just wanna let them know that you're thinking of them, you stop and buy some goodies for them. And just those little things of being able to give someone something of a surprise just because you love them is sometimes a gift to your own heart and your connections with other humans and connections with the universe. So what is a shiny object or a fun little fact or a fun, something that you spend time to put together for for a friend or loved one in your life. Moreover than that, when was the last time you did that? If you can't remember the last time you did it, what's something you can do? Is it for a friend? A neighbor? Maybe, an elderly person who's near you that you don't even know well, but would appreciate maybe even just a hello or taking them a cup of coffee and saying, hey, I'm thinking of you. I think those human connections, those tiny human connections are what They're like little energy sparks that keep our humanity alive. And as long as we keep our humanity alive, I think we can keep anything alive. Those little sparks of humanity are also like little sparks of hope and joy and goodness.And given that we don't ever know what our tomorrow is, it's important to live in that tiny moment today, where you're thinking of someone else or doing something for them. Anyway, those are the little squirrel Wrangler thoughts for the day, and I hope you're having an amazing Tuesday.
