Everything has to come to an end sometimes. The closing of one chapter, or the end of a beloved television series just opens up the world to new, and probably better possibilities.
Be kind, you can share your enthusiasm without giving away the end.
Sometimes, the world is a very challenging place. Make sure to be extra kind to yourself when the going gets tough.
The truly tough take some time for self care before, during and after the “getting going” bit.
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!
One day, someone made a series of decisions to bring you into the world. A world that is full of chaos, challenge and unspeakable difficulties. But someone decided that it would be worth it to give it a go and bring you, yes you, into this world. Along the way, there were many sacrifices and unknown mountains to climb. First they gave you part of their body and carried you, and then risking life and limb, they birthed you into the world. Then, in your most vulnerable state, that person cared for you. They fed you, clothed you, socialized you, read you loads of storybooks repeatedly, made sure you had the right toys at the right stages of your development, and poured over information about how to ensure that you would grow up to be the best possible you. You weren’t always grateful and it certainly was not always easy, but here you are.
If you are lucky enough to still have that someone in your life, make sure to call them up and say Happy Mother’s Day.
Thank you to all the moms, their hard work and unspoken sacrifices
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
Curiosity makes your life more interesting. Even in the mundane, regular or routine there might be little details that totally change your perspective. Asking questions, exploring keeps your mind active and can open up whole new worlds. 
It is really a wonderful thing to have people in your life to care for. However, the best way to care for those special people in your life is to make sure that you also take care of yourself. If you are happy, balanced and fulfilled you can better take care of those you love. And those good vibes are likely to be contagious!
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.
