This is the Feathermane Soul Wisdom Blogcast for

10
00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:31,340
June 27th, 2026.

11
00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:35,100
Find Time for Treats, a horse wisdom blog.

12
00:00:36,020 --> 00:00:38,680
The farrier came yesterday and I used my

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,460
treat bag to make the experience a bit

14
00:00:40,460 --> 00:00:41,060
more pleasant.

15
00:00:41,620 --> 00:00:44,220
The senior mare, my heart horse, was all

16
00:00:44,220 --> 00:00:45,940
about the treats and it was so good

17
00:00:45,940 --> 00:00:47,320
to see her asking for more.

18
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,240
Likewise, the other horses were very interested in

19
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,900
treats and everyone took the time to savor

20
00:00:52,900 --> 00:00:54,060
the bounty of the moment.

21
00:00:54,740 --> 00:00:56,900
How often do you make time and then

22
00:00:56,900 --> 00:00:58,720
savor the treats that you receive?

23
00:01:00,140 --> 00:01:02,920
Internet memes tell us you deserve good things

24
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,760
and it's true, we all do.

25
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,300
And yet, when those good things happen, we

26
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:08,860
tend to try to rush through them.

27
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,960
We need to get back to work, get

28
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,740
back to doing something productive, and that's if

29
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:15,860
we make time for treats, you know, those

30
00:01:15,860 --> 00:01:17,260
good things at all.

31
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,300
Sometimes making time for the treats is the

32
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:22,100
most difficult part of enjoying them.

33
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,900
I think that's why the ritual of morning

34
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:26,980
coffee is so important to so many people,

35
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:27,940
myself included.

36
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:30,460
If you don't use an automatic timer on

37
00:01:30,460 --> 00:01:33,600
your coffee machine, then you pause, take the

38
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,020
time to prepare, fill, and start the coffee

39
00:01:36,020 --> 00:01:36,400
maker.

40
00:01:36,860 --> 00:01:39,960
Then, when the cup or carafe fills and

41
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:42,340
you finally get that full mug, you'll add

42
00:01:42,340 --> 00:01:44,540
whatever creamers or flavorings you want.

43
00:01:45,020 --> 00:01:46,680
Then, there's that first sip.

44
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,140
Ah, even though you know what to expect,

45
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:51,840
I mean, most of us make the same

46
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,320
or similar coffees every morning and a lot

47
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,660
of us have our favorite brands, then there's

48
00:01:56,660 --> 00:01:58,980
still the moment the aroma fills your nostrils

49
00:01:58,980 --> 00:02:00,580
and the taste hits your tongue.

50
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,180
The experience can be the thing that makes

51
00:02:03,180 --> 00:02:04,620
it worthwhile to get out of bed in

52
00:02:04,620 --> 00:02:05,000
the morning.

53
00:02:05,580 --> 00:02:07,880
I mean, sure, there are other reasons, but

54
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,960
also there's coffee.

55
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:11,980
The horses aren't in the position to go

56
00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:13,020
seek out their treats.

57
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:14,920
They have to wait for the treats to

58
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:17,200
come to them, and the wild horses might

59
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,440
find an especially good patch of grass or

60
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,820
favorite browse, and that might happen in the

61
00:02:21,820 --> 00:02:22,560
pasture, too.

62
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,140
What that reminds us is that we need

63
00:02:25,140 --> 00:02:26,960
to be on the lookout for any particular

64
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,960
good things that come our way and savor

65
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:29,320
them.

66
00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:32,720
Too often, we feel that we shouldn't experience

67
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,380
good things and that maybe we're grieving or

68
00:02:35,380 --> 00:02:37,580
there are stories that we internalize from others

69
00:02:37,580 --> 00:02:39,960
that we don't get good things, and yet

70
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,080
that is exactly the time when we most

71
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,500
likely need them the most.

72
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,940
I encourage you, both this weekend and into

73
00:02:45,940 --> 00:02:48,200
next week, to find times when you can

74
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,840
make time for treats, and if you're grieving

75
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,780
or wondering whether you should be enjoying good

76
00:02:52,780 --> 00:02:55,140
things, I encourage you to reach out.

77
00:02:55,540 --> 00:02:58,280
Let's talk about grief coaching or how wild

78
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,160
spirit storytelling can help you.

79
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:04,700

80
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:06,640
