The only person who really needs to approve of you is you. When you have convinced yourself that you are amazing just as you are, you will convince everyone else too.
Just a friendly reminder that you are awesome.
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.
Although 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!
Sometimes 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?
They 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!
Find someone in this world who you can rest your head on. At the end of the day, a good partner is someone who supports you no matter what, even if you need to take a nap using them as your pillow for a bit.
A good friend will always have a place for you.
Every now and then it is good to stop what you are doing and take a look around. You might glimpse something amazing.
You might witness something wonderful if you pause for a moment!
There 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.
Don’t get stuck in the day to day, keep your eyes and mind on the bigger picture. Things are never as bad as they seem, and you never know, one day you have your head stuck in a fence, in a few months you might be on top of the world.
Don’t worry, you’ll get through it.
Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Its value is usually abbreviated to 3.14159; however, as an irrational number, Pi goes on infinitely. An irrational number is a number that cannot be made into a fraction. Pi is irrational, but without it we would have no idea how to calculate things like the size of the world or how much flour should be used to make a perfect twelve-inch pizza. If an idea seems irrational to you, perhaps it might still be possible. Perhaps, like Pi, the world is full of infinite seemingly irrational possibilities. What is irrational today may revolutionize tomorrow.
Enjoy some delicious pie and contemplate the infinite possibilities, happy Pi Day! (3.14)
