There are some days where you just don’t have that much to say, and that is totally alright. Relax and have a wonderful Friday!
Yay for Fridays!

The eleventh of April 2019
goatsI have always been a fan of Thursdays. It is the day day before Friday, and the work week is officially almost done. Thursday was named for the Norse god Thor, and at some point in the distant past it was known as Thor’s Day. Thor was known for wielding a giant hammer and riding a chariot that was drawn by two goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr. These goats were pretty badass, and pulled Thor’s thunder chariot on his many adventures and epics. You may not have met many goats that you would associate with heroic behavior, but I think inside even the most adorable caprine lies the spirit of a badass goat pulling a thunder chariot triumphantly towards the weekend!
Never underestimate a goat – or yourself!

goatsThe world is your runway. Take action, take a step forward, and do so with intention and purpose. The less you worry about what other people think, the less self conscious you will be, and the more wonderful your life will be.
You do you.

goatsOur lives are full of competition, to the point where sometimes it feels like you simply can’t get away from it. When you lay the groundwork, put in the hours and do your best and you come in second, sometimes that can sting quite a bit. However, do not despair if you come in second, third, or even sixty-fourth in the competition. It may not feel like it in the moment, but the work you put in does count and eventually will lead to wonderful things, just maybe not in snagging the coveted first spot. Today’s entry is dedicated to Hugo, who valiantly represented Cambridge at the Oxford Cambridge Goat Race this past Sunday, and came in second. Maybe your year will be 2020, Hugo, or maybe your victory has yet to manifest, but either way, you were smashing and should be proud.
Hugo is a legend.

goatsToday, your goat of the day is Hamish , the champion of the Oxford Cambridge Goat Race and resident of Spitalfields City Farm in London, UK. With his victory yesterday, Hamish has won the Goat Race four times! Hamish is an African Pygmy Goat, a breed known for its small stature, playful attitude and intelligence.
Well done, Hamish!

goatsToday was a very exciting day in the UK. A very famous race between two of the world’s most renowned universities, Oxford and Cambridge, takes place every year in the spring time. Each team spends the winter training and gearing up for the big day. Light blue versus regular blue, and there is plenty of pomp and circumstance before the big race and then…one goat representing Cambridge and one representing Oxford run side-by-side and whoever crosses the finish line at Spitalfields City Farm first wins! Last year, it was a very close race, but Hamish the goat representing Oxford gamboled across the finish line first – and this year he held his title! Hugo, the goat representing Cambridge put in a very good effort, but it was not quite enough to beat last year’s champion. The Oxford Cambridge Goat Race is a wonderful Sunday afternoon with plenty of tasty beverages, goat-related puns, and good times. There is even a pre-goat race pig race that is a lot of fun. It is very advisable to book in advance, as it is the best race happening in London this day and is likely to sell out – you wouldn’t want to be stuck with nothing to do on race day!

goatsAlthough many stereotypes would have you believe that goats like to eat garbage, we know that goats are usually just trying something out with an experimental chew before deciding whether or not its worth eating. That said, goats end up eating a lot of leafy green vegetables! Leafy green vegetables should also be a part of a human’s diet, as they are nutrient dense, with minimal calories, and help support a healthy immune system. They are also full of antioxidants, which help prevent your body from developing cancer. I like to eat a big pile of raw spinach with an egg in the morning.
Perhaps goats are wiser about food choices than we realize!

goatsSometimes it might feel difficult to get through life’s inevitable obstacles. You may not think you are where you need to be, or worry that you have fallen behind on achieving certain milestones and goals. Fear not and be resilient. You’re not as far behind as you might think.
Is the glass half full or half empty? Or is it just right?

goatsThey say that the month of March “goes in like a lion and out like a lamb,” indicating the end of winter and beginning of spring. Well, so far, April in the UK has been blustery and cold and not very springlike so far. Hopefully it will warm up soon, in the mean time, bundle up!
Angola goats get to wear snuggly coats all year – remember to pass on mohair!

goatsThere is always something to look forward to, whether it is a big cake on your birthday, a new adventure over the Easter holidays, a sunny day, or even a good night’s rest.
Springtime always fills me with hope.
