And she's absolutely, positively, 31 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 5: one hundred percent oh correct. When you tell your brain 32 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 5: that it's going to be a great day, your brain 33 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 5: automatically starts looking for reasons why it's such a great day. 34 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 5: Don't believe me. We'll just think back to a time 35 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 5: when something went wrong during the day and you got 36 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 5: fed up, and then everything that happened after that made 37 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 5: you grumble. Well, chances are you told yourself having a 38 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 5: bad day. Then instead of convincing yourself that the rest 39 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 5: of the day will be great, you expected it all 40 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 5: to day go bad, and I'm sure it did. Chances 41 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 5: are some good things happened that day that passed you 42 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 5: by because you and your brain were only looking for 43 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 5: the bad. Well, what if I were to tell you 44 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 5: that every day an equal number of good things and 45 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 5: bad things happened. It's just how you perceive it and 46 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 5: how you handle it. You could trip over a raised 47 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 5: sidewalk and say, see, just another bad day, or you 48 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 5: could laugh and say, phew, that could have been a 49 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 5: lot worse. Phoebe has made the this is a bad 50 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 5: day mistake one too many times. Luckily, Phoebe's grandma filled 51 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 5: her in on the today is going to be a 52 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 5: good day secret I just shared with you all, and 53 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 5: luckily Phoebe was smart enough to listen. In fact, Phoebe 54 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 5: listened to a lot of the things her grandma told her. 55 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 5: Her grandma always seen so wise, so sweet, so happy 56 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 5: all of the time. So one day, when Phoebe asked 57 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 5: her grandma. 58 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: How are you always so happy, grandma. 59 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 5: Her grandma let her in on a secret. 60 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 2: You have to get your hands in the dirt. Excuse me. 61 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 2: It's what we're made of and it's where we'll return 62 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: in the end. Geez, Grandma, that sounds morbid. Morbid, It's beautiful. 63 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: This is where all life comes from, so it only 64 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 2: makes sense that it makes us happy. Where do you 65 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 2: think food comes from the grocery store? And where do 66 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: you think they got it from? A factory. Oh, you're 67 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: being a stinker. Anything worth eating once lived. 68 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 5: Grandma waved Phoebe to follow her outside. They stepped out 69 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 5: on the porch, where the warm breeze met them both. 70 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 2: Do you smell that? That air is alive with bee pollen, 71 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 2: carbon monoxide from trees, fresh scents from flowers, dirt, sap animals. 72 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 2: Look at these trees, they're alive. What do you think 73 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: they're saying. They don't need to say anything. They're just 74 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: being and that's better than anything. They're part of the 75 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 2: great big picture. Follow me to the garden. 76 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 5: Phoebe followed her grandma out to the garden. It was 77 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 5: so beautiful. It was full of plants, plants with tomatoes, zucchini, rhubarb, peppers, 78 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 5: and watermelon. There was a tiny section of the garden 79 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 5: where nothing was planted. It was just dirt. 80 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 2: You did all of this, Grandma, without any help from 81 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 2: your grandpa. He's not much of a gardener anyway. I 82 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 2: let him manicure the lawn. Why is there a patch 83 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 2: of dirt over there with nothing in it? I was 84 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: hoping you would ask that. That is where I would 85 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: love for you to plant. Tell me, Phoebe, what's your 86 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: favorite fruit. 87 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 5: Phoebe answered, without hesitation, strawberries. 88 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 2: Oh what's that poking me in my back pocket? 89 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 5: Her grandma pulls out a packet. The label reads strawberry seeds. 90 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 2: Why where did these come from? Grandma? You knew I 91 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: most certainly did not. It must have been one of 92 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: these garden gnomes. 93 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 5: Phoebe smiles at her grandma, and her grandma winks back. 94 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 5: Her grandma uses her kneepad to kneel down on the cushion. 95 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 5: She starts digging up the soil. 96 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 2: Well, I don't just stand there. Come give you a, Grandma, 97 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: a hand. I don't like to get dirty nonsense. Dear, 98 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 2: come down here, let me show you. This is the 99 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: earth we walk on day after day. The least we 100 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: can do is give it a massage and plant within 101 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: it a seed. 102 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 5: Phoebe kneels down next to her grandma. She slightly hesitates 103 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 5: to put her hand in the dirt when her grandma 104 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 5: grabs her hand with a big glove of dirt, getting 105 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 5: Phoebe's hand full of dirt. 106 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 2: Welcome. 107 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 5: Well, there's no more hesitation. Phoebe's already dirty, so she 108 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 5: digs her hands in and starts breaking up the dirt. 109 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 5: With her grandma. 110 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: I didn't know you who are pro well. I watched 111 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: you and mom do it before, and you've never tried 112 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 2: it yourself. Never, Oh dear, how will you even learn 113 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: if you don't try and make mistakes? You don't need 114 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 2: an invitation to try. 115 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 5: Phoebe and her grandma continued filling the dirt in that 116 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 5: tiny little section until the dirt was light and fluffy. 117 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 5: Then they dug out a tiny row for the strawberry seeds. 118 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 2: Now you have to make little beds for all the seeds, 119 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 2: because the seeds are like babies at first stage. They're 120 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: so very fragile, and they need to be treated with 121 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 2: care and love. Much like anything at its early stage, 122 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: anything you name it, it needed to be handled with 123 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: care at its earliest times. 124 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 5: Phoebe points to a big tree. 125 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: What about that tree? Oh absolutely, there was a time 126 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 2: when that tree was as tiny as a weed. If 127 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 2: your grandpa would have ran it over with the lawnmower 128 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 2: because splat, it would have never grew to that big, 129 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: beautiful tree it is today. What about my stuffies? Oh yes, absolutely. 130 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 2: Do you remember the day you brought home a new one? 131 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: You probably treated it best of all, making sure it 132 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 2: didn't get a spot of dust on it, or fell 133 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 2: on the floor or stepped on by an adult. Then 134 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 2: one day it got a little tiny piece of food 135 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 2: on it, and you were upset, but you realized it's 136 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 2: still okay. And then you left it somewhere, and when 137 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 2: you found it, it was still okay. Then you dropped 138 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 2: it in water and thought it was ruined, but when 139 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 2: it dried, it was still okay. Then it had its 140 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 2: first wash through the washing machine, and you thought for 141 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: sure it was going to come out torn to shreds, 142 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: but it looked shiny and new. It stood so many 143 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 2: tests and trials that you knew it was resilient, and 144 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 2: you stop protecting it as much as you once did 145 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 2: when it was a new baby. How about a new friend, Oh, 146 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 2: relationships are especially fragile in the beginning. It's the same 147 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 2: thing with your stuffies. You have a new friend and 148 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 2: you have to foster that relationship. Imagine you make a 149 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 2: new friend and never make an attempt to see them again. 150 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 2: The relationship is over. However, if you make an attempt 151 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 2: to see them again and you take some time to 152 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 2: get to know them, you want to know what they like. 153 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 2: You try to find similarities, and I'm sure you try 154 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 2: to like the things that they like. Then you have 155 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 2: your first argument and you feel sick over it. You're 156 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 2: worried that they won't ever talk to you again. But 157 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 2: then you both apologize, and then the relationship. You appreciate 158 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,479 Speaker 2: the love and care you both put into the relationship, 159 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: and you're a friendship o ohs. And you realize it's 160 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: more resilient than you thought, so you start being more 161 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: of yourself, and you have your ups and downs with 162 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: each other, but you appreciate your differences and both's willingness 163 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: to put forth effort. It's the same with a garden. 164 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: So we'll plant these seeds and water them today, and 165 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 2: if we never come back for them again, chances are 166 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 2: they won't make it. But if we come back tomorrow 167 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: to water them, they'll be happy. Some days they may 168 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 2: tell us they're being watered a little too much, and 169 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 2: some days are just right. It's just like life, balanced, Grandma. 170 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 2: You talk about it with such love, because I've lived, 171 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 2: I've seen things, I've made mistakes, and the most important 172 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 2: thing is to have a positive, loving heart and the 173 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 2: willingness to always learn and grow no matter what.
