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.
Many goats are so beloved by the communities they live in. For example, recently in the United States, the town of Fair Haven, Vermont, elected a goat named Lincoln to preside as mayor. The village of Cushendun in Northern Ireland had a similar beloved town goat; however, Johann, to my knowledge, never held elected office. He served the village of Cushendun as a volunteer greeter to visitors hoping to enjoy the Victorian architecture settled along the sea. Sadly, Johann served Cushendun until 2001, when he was the last animal to put to rest during the great Foot and Mouth Outbreak that brought the agriculture to a halt in the United Kingdom. Many people now visit Cushendun because it was the setting of an infamous scene from the popular television show Game of Thrones when sorceress Melisandre birthed a shadow. If you find yourself looking for the cave of the shadow baby, you can’t miss the statue built to celebrate the life of Johann the goat, welcoming you to the village.
The statue commemorating Johann the Goat was sculpted in 2002 by artist Deborah Brooks.
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!
If you find yourself in a bind and you don’t know what to do, sometimes the best act of kindness is just to be present. Simply being there can make all the difference. 
Things may not be perfect, but they are also not so bad if you look around. Spring is on the way and there is no one quite like you in the universe.
The challenges and disappointments we face make the great times even more wonderful.
Never mistake arrogance for talent or authenticity. Staying humble and being grateful for every step of your journey is more important than being the best or comparing your path to the journeys of others. You’re amazing just the way you are, and through good actions your light will shine.
Be courageous in your humility, never boastful or arrogant at the expense of others.
Always make sure to remind the people closest to you how important they are. Your gentle and loving words could transform someone’s day. Showing gratitude for our companions, family and friends is a wonderful way to practice kindness and self care.
Share your appreciation of those closest to you.
It is easy to get lost thinking about what might have been or worrying about future plans. Perhaps take some time this weekend to just focus on what is going on in the present – take a few moments to be content and find joy in the now.
Accept the way things are in this moment.
A good friend is one of life’s most important and precious gifts. You never know where and who might become one of your most closest confidants.
Make friends wherever you go!
Happy Valentine’s Day to all who celebrate – and if not here are a couple of goats hanging out in Haryana. Every day is a great day to eat chocolate and enjoy the people in your life who matter most. I’m grateful for my partner who took a break from doing science to send me today’s photo ❤️
