Let me get through a stressful four days. It was an offhand comment that said, well, sure doesn't take much for you young people to suffer. Let me explain. But first, welcome back to the Primal Potential

Podcast. I'm Elizabeth Benton. This is our consistency 365 series. These are

many episodes that air between our regular full length Monday and Saturday

episodes so we can take some time together every single day to just reconnect to where we want

our effort, our attitude, our actions to go today.

So we don't get distracted by everything that is happening in our lives, come up for

air on Sunday night and go, oh go, wasn't such a great week.

We want to really be intentional about connecting daily

with what we're trying to do and why.

So I was listening to this podcast,

and it was kind of this almost dead air moment offhand conversation

almost like they didn't even they hadn't even started the show yet and this guy was sharing that he he was visiting with his wife's grandmother, who's in

let's say late 80s, early 90s, and the grandmother was saying, you know, how are you kids

doing? The man and his wife. And he was like, oh, you know how are you kids doing the man and his wife and he was like oh you

know it's busy work is super busy you know so-and-so is in school and taking care of the kid like it's just we're just you know going from sun up to sundown it's non-stop

stressful and the grandmother looked at him and said wow sure doesn't take much for you young people to suffer.

And honestly, it got me.

That phrase got me. It made me think about my grandmother passed away a couple years ago when she was 102.

101, 102.

And a few years before that, when we knew she was of course coming to the end of her natural life, I interviewed her because she had a fascinating life.

And I remember asking her, Grammy, what was it like to go through the Great Depression?

And she looked at me and she said, it really wasn't that bad.
