7:20 PM. I'm just out taking a walk and, um, just do a quick hike and mic just for a couple minutes here. So yeah, so just join me for a little stroll. All right, I have not mastered the, uh, holding the phone, walking the dog, live streaming thing. You yet, but I'm working on it. You know, it's part of life, right? We have to just sometimes practice and learn skills and fumble and bumble our way through it. It's just simply part of being human. Um, we don't learn unless we try. So thanks for bearing with my shaky camera and all that fun stuff. Anyway, I hope you're having an amazing day today. Just listen. I'm out here with my faithful companion, and, uh, yeah, we're just kind of taking a little bit of nature before we head home. Such an amazing view. I love it here. Peaceful, tranquil. And, um, I think I just want to talk about just finding a day, a time in your day where you can experience a little bit of quietness, maybe a little bit of solitude, a little bit of time just to refresh and rejuvenate. Um, for me, person whose creative mind is always going it's essential that I find time to kind of get into a quiet space, whether it's outdoors or indoors. But yeah, so I'm just enjoying the vibes, and Olivia is taking me on a path, so we're just going to follow the pup here. Pardon the shaky camera, I don't have my gimbal today, but I think I have something new on the way that I can use for live streaming, so we'll have less of the shaky camera. Thanks for bearing with me. Guys, hello June, good to see you. Thank you for saying hi in the chat. If you guys are watching live and you like this kind of stuff, or even if it's a replay, if you like these kinds of streams where I'm kind of walking and talking in the woods Or sometimes I'm in New York City. And most of the time you can find me live streaming, sketching architecture, urban sketching, right here on The Expired Life. Give me a thumbs up and subscribe. Love to have you guys join us. Uh, these kind of walk and talks or hike and winks are off the cuff, spur of the moment, as you can tell, as I'm just holding my phone in my hand with the pup right there. Guiding me down a steep hill and looking for bears and any wildlife that might be out here. I don't want to jinx myself. I have not seen a bear yet here. What you up to? Hey, Loop says, what you up to? Up to walking, getting some fresh air. What are you up to? So guys, here's a really cool view. I love coming through this kind of wooded space, and then we're gonna come out to the clearing. I love this viewpoint. It's one of my favorite views walking around here. I just love how this opens up to this like meadow, grassy area. It's pretty cool. Thank you for liking and subbing, I appreciate it. So guys, yeah, like I said, this is, uh, just a quick walk out here using this riff top of my brain. Crickets chirping. Yeah, I love that sounds of crickets, got birds chirping, the wind's blowing a little bit, temperature perfect. I would, I would say this is almost a perfect day weather-wise. There's a guy down there with like a turkey call or something. I hear him making sounds. That was interesting. I think there's a guy down there bird calling. I have not seen that yet. All right, love, we're gonna head back. Let's go, Ma. Let's go back. That's a good screenshot right there. Screenshot! Click! That's awesome. Olivia's intrigued by the guy down there who was making bird calls. I'm gonna walk to the edge up here. You guys can take a view. Pretty nice view here. It's beautiful in the fall when the leaves are all changed. And we're gonna end right up here, straight ahead. So next week, guys, I should have a gimbal so I have a steady picture. I have one now, I don't like it. I'm gonna try to sell it, and I want to buy an Osmo. Mobile Pocket 3 with the funsel so I can have really nice, clean, smooth live streams. Be quiet, you guys can take this in. Love it, love it, guys. All right, so If you can, just find a moment of silence or, you know, solitude today. Just a little bit of peace and quiet, whether it's outside, inside, it doesn't matter. Sometimes our brains just need a little quiet rest, and I know mine does after a busy day.
