One of the best things about the Goat of the Day blog is the friendly reminders that even in our fast-paced, technological-social-media-driven world, people are still keeping tabs on you. I was an early adopter of Facebook way back in 2005 and can say with confidence that I have personally met all 615 people who are my friends. Sometimes, friends that I have known ages ago who I otherwise would have lost complete contact with, send me messages with personal goat photographs. Today’s goats are one such picture, from a high school friend of mine, Tiffany. Tiffany was super cool and liked vampires and drove a Saab. She joined the army and we lost touch, but thanks to Facebook we’re able to keep tabs. Thanks Tiffany, for sending me a picture of two fabulous angora goats from Deanna Rose Farmstead in Overland Park, Kansas.

What a time to be alive!

If you ever find yourself wondering what the best solution to a problem is, the answer is to do whatever is kindest. You can never go wrong when you choose to be kind.

Kindness is a sustainable form of joy.

It is never too late to try something new. Although I have never been a particularly artistic person – my forte has typically been appreciating rather than creating art – in the past few years I have dabbled in some graphic design and graphic arts. I hope you enjoy my tracing of my favorite goat of all time, created with an IPad Pro and Procreate.

You are never to young to explore new talents and hobbies

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!

Sometimes, you have to take a step back and consider the bigger picture. It is easy to get distracted by details and minutia, but you might be closer than you think to achieving your goals.

If you are stuck, try looking at the situation holistically

Have faith in the universe, good things are on their way.

Trust yourself, trust that things are going to work out.

Do not let whatever happened yesterday, last week, last year or five years ago take up too much space in your mind. What matters is what is happening, what you are doing, right here and right now.

Be in the now and let it go.

We live in a beautiful world, full of diverse life and environments. Sadly, the world is changing as the global temperature climbs higher and higher every year. Today is Earth Day, and perhaps consider two things. First, think about ways that you can help out. Maybe instead of driving to a shop you cycle, walk or take public transportation. Start carrying some cloth bags to carry your groceries in and say no to disposable plastics. Or even consider reducing your consumption of meat and dairy products. Second, demand that your government representatives take the threat of climate change seriously, as it effects us all. The Earth is a wondrous place, and we are her stewards, it’s up to us to set things right.

The time for climate action is now.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate. If that is not you, that is ok, I hope that you were able to capitalize on the commercialization of the holiday and enjoy some chocolate. If that is you, I hope you had a lovely day as well.

Did y’all know it was Easter? Good news, summer is just around the corner!
