No matter what time of year it is, what time of day it is, the right choice is always to be kind and compassionate. If you are ever in doubt of what to do, choose the thing that is the most kind.
There is a beautiful mural nearby where I live that says “Kindness is always in season”
Today is the longest day of the entire year, if you live in the northern hemisphere. Because the planet Earth (the one we live on) rotates around the sun on a tilted axis, certain parts of the planet get more or less sun depending on the time of year. Basically, billions of years ago, when our solar system was being formed, tons of bits of mass collided together to form mini planets, which then collided together to form proto-planets, which eventually became most of what our planet is now. Then, another pro-planet collided with the prelude to Earth and put us on our lovely little tilt which is reasonable for the seasons. Amazing! And the seasons are a big part of why life was able to flourish on our planet. Incredible how things tend to all fall into place like that!
Completely fantastic how millions of collisions resulted in a planet with goats. Amazing.
It is Friday after a busy week, so here is a blurry four day old baby Nigerian Dwarf goat to get your weekend started.
I hope that your weekend is full of many wonderful shenanigans!
Sometimes you don’t really need an inspirational quote to get you through the day. Sometimes, you just need a big cup of coffee.
Thursdays can be exhausting, but there is hope for the weekend, plus there is always coffee!
What are your plans for the week? It is good to have an idea of what you need to get done and hope to accomplish, but it is also good to be flexible and able to say “yes!” to surprise opportunities that might come up throughout the week. Saying yes may just be the start of something incredible!
Flexible planning is a great way to organize your time!
Sometimes, the best way to achieve happiness and contentment is to keep your expectations realistic. The less you expect, the more things will fill your being with joy.
Keep you expectations reasonable, this is a blog that brings you a goat everyday, and here is a goat.
There is a difference between quitting tasks and knowing when something no longer serves you and the best course of action is to walk away. It is ok to change your goals or objectives of your life. If you have given you all and continuing on the path is painful, then find a path that fulfills you. Changing course does not indicate failure; rather, it illustrates courage.
Allow yourself to change coarse, it might lead somewhere amazing!
Have faith in the universe, good things are on their way.
Trust yourself, trust that things are going to work out.
Today, was one of those days. My family and I had been spending some time in a holiday caravan near the Yorkshire Dales National Park and made our way back to our home after a lovely holiday. I had planned two stops on the way back, first to a trout farm, and second to a goat sanctuary to take new and exciting pictures of goats for my blog. I realize, that some of the goats you may have grown familiar with, as my visit to Buttercups Sanctuary for Goats last autumn produced quite a few unique photographs. However, I worry that my material has grown stale and that my followers and supporters are bored. I try to get new photographs whenever I have an opportunity.
Anyway, first, the trout farm was basically a pond where old men (I did not see any young people or women there) fish for trout and was not exciting and given that I was with my five year old, we were encouraged to leave.
Second, we found The Goat Sanctuary, somewhere between Manchester and Liverpool, but sadly it was not open to the public. I did manage to find some goats today, but will save them for tomorrow. As today has been a tad strange, I shall share with you my most favorite photograph from my library of goats. I met this goat in Delhi, India, and was struck by the self-assured glint in its eye, as though it holds some secrets of the universe or special knowledge. I think that even if Google sends this goat astray on its journey, it will continue to smile and saunter along as if that was always their plan. At any rate, today was a lovely spring day and a wonderful opportunity to meander across England.
This is my most favorite goat.
It can be a real bummer, but the most sensible course of action is to always conduct a risk assessment to ensure for optimal health and safety. Taking the time to set out an orange cone or two might make the difference between a mishap and a near-miss.
There is nothing cheeky about health and safety!
