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.
The third Sunday in June has been designated as Father’s Day for 62 years in the United States, and was not officially recognized as a holiday until 1972. A young woman, Sonora Louise Smart Dodd was inspired by her own father, who raised her and her five siblings alone, and campaigned for a special day honoring all fathers to be celebrated on his birthday.
Even if you sometimes butt heads with your dad (like me), make sure to tell him how much he’s appreciated today.
Let’s hear it for dads!
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!
I hope that if you are reading this that you had a lovely, fun-filled Sunday. I was lucky enough to spend some time with some goats at a local town and country fair. I am grateful that you are still with me, after over six months of daily goats, and appreciate your patience when you may see a goat on multiple occasions. I truly do my best to maintain all original material and goats that I have personally met, or goats that my friends have personally met. Here is an adorable baby goat to give you inspiration for the week ahead.
What is not to love about a baby goat and those big floppy ears.
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!
The difficult days are the ones to endure, because they make the happy and joyous days that much brighter. Take care of yourselves everyone.
Perfection is boring, persistence is amazing.
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!
People who regularly practice gratitude are generally happier and may even experience other health benefits such as improved sleep and stronger immune systems. Practicing gratitude can be as simple as taking a moment to be thankful for someone in your life, a day of lovely weather, or even a slice of cake.
Even simple things like sunshine and fresh air are things to be grateful for.
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.
