Well, well, hello everyone. How we doing? My name is Joey. I thought my armrest was there and I just fell. That's so embarrassing.

My name is Joey Kidney and welcome to the Happy Times podcast.

I know it's been a little bit, but I just wanted to say I've been taking some time off

to be with myself and better myself and ground myself. I think there's a lot going on in this world and I think we definitely need to take our time to breathe.

So that's what this podcast is all going to be about. I just want to sit here and I want to talk and I just want to just sit here and be. Be with you guys. And I know that sounds so so spiritual I'm not a spiritual dude so don't

don't worry it's not going to be one of those I just read in this book recently

and I wanted to share it I've've been reading lately. Reading is super

weird. I don't normally read. Even though I have a book, I don't really read. So I've been reading

this book and it's called Let That Shit go. And in the book they talk about being in the moment, right?

And the only true way to be in a moment is to be here. And I was like, okay, this is getting weird. I was like,

what is this? I talk about a simple thing that you can do to kind of help yourself with what you're going through and what's

happening in our lives and everything like that and I was like what is this and

and they help you remind you where you are.

So I'll give a perfect example.

I'm picking up a glass right now.

I'm going to take a sip of water.

Oh, hmm.

I like the way the glass felt in my hand.

It's like a solid glass and the water. The water's like

room temperature but it's not like too warm and it's not too cold it's really nice.

Have you ever done that? What was the last time you did that? When was the last time you did that?

When was the last time you basically narrated what you were doing?
