Hey gang, Kevin here, Life22.
00:00:05 Kevin
You ever, uh, life ever get to get down?
00:00:08 Kevin
You know, you're stressed out, you just, you need to kind of take a deep breath and take any of the tasks you have on your daily list of things to get down and slow down at them so you don't, you know, your ADHD doesn't kick in and you're just like, all right, screw it, I'm,
00:00:29 Kevin
I'm just going to, you know, take it slow.
00:00:32 Kevin
I'm going to give it quality and whatever it is that I'm doing, I'm working on.
00:00:35 Kevin
I don't want to go too fast.
00:00:37 Kevin
And then you just get some reflection time.
00:00:41 Kevin
Well, I just got to, I just stopped up to see a friend of mine.
00:00:46 Kevin
I was, I happen to be, my daily tasks have taken me out to the Portville Hobi Road and
00:00:56 Kevin
So I was like, since I was up this way, I said, you know what?
00:01:00 Kevin
I'm going to.
00:01:02 Kevin
I'm going to go and see a friend of mine who I haven't seen in just over two years.
00:01:10 Kevin
And so.
00:01:12 Kevin
We got to stop in and see my buddy Joey today.
00:01:16 Kevin
Joey passed away just over two years ago.
00:01:20 Kevin
It's one of those things.
00:01:21 Kevin
So when life's got you frazzled, stressed out, you're like, man, I got all these things to do and there's not enough time in the day.
00:01:29 Kevin
You need to stop, take a minute, take a deep breath, and then think about like guys like Joe died in their late thirties.
00:01:39 Kevin
And why am I like, I could be next, I could be tomorrow.
00:01:44 Kevin
Like I need to take a deep breath.
00:01:47 Kevin
Just go slower at it, enjoy the moment.
00:01:51 Kevin
And I think there's some semblance to that.
00:01:56 Kevin
It gives you some introspection as you're sitting there talking to someone who was once with you.
00:02:05 Kevin
You know, they may not, they're most likely, realistically, they probably can't hear you, at least not on this mortal coil.
00:02:16 Kevin
I don't know what the afterlife brings.
00:02:18 Kevin
I don't know if there's still this, but it's that old itty-gritty brand adage.
00:02:29 Kevin
The tombstone is no use for me, my darling.
00:02:34 Kevin
They're to ease the living.
00:02:36 Kevin
They are no use to the dead, which is very true.
00:02:40 Kevin
And so as I was contemplating
00:02:44 Kevin
Turning around and heading back to my house or to go to see my buddy Joe, I thought about it and I said, You know what?
00:02:55 Kevin
I'm going to go see Joe.
00:02:57 Kevin
It means nothing to Joe that I stopped by.
00:03:00 Kevin
It means something to me.
00:03:02 Kevin
And that's really where it matters and that's where a lot of that comes in.
00:03:07 Kevin
But with that said, gang, I hope you take a breath, a deep one.
00:03:14 Kevin
Think about how life is.
00:03:18 Kevin
How life sometimes has you down and you just need to pick me up.
00:03:22 Kevin
Think about think about friends that are no longer with us.
00:03:24 Kevin
Think about, you know, like how you're still here.
00:03:28 Kevin
You're still here.
00:03:29 Kevin
There's there's a plan for you.
00:03:30 Kevin
There's something for you to do in this world.
00:03:32 Kevin
Whether it's whether it's your kids or their soon to be kids or your grandkids or you still are useful.
00:03:39 Kevin
You still have a purpose.
00:03:44 Kevin
And life is a gift.
00:03:47 Kevin
It's a blessing.
00:03:48 Kevin
It's something that not everybody gets to, not everybody gets to have.
00:03:56 Kevin
Not everybody gets to have a life or a full life.
00:03:58 Kevin
Not everybody gets to pass away softly in their sleep at a ripe old age of 96.
00:04:06 Kevin
So, and
00:04:12 Kevin
the likelihood of us even being here and our life even existing is speck, speck of a chance.
00:04:20 Kevin
So that's it.
00:04:28 Kevin
Just think about your life.
00:04:34 Kevin
go outside it's a beautiful day out I turned the air conditioner off so that you guys could hear my voice more crisply and have better audio quality so I'm sweating the dickens out wishing that I could get that crisp beautiful like spring almost summer air flowing through my vehicle so I can enjoy the beauty that is the world that I am still blessed to be in with that gang I will see you guys next time on life 22.
