It is never too late to try something new or embark on a new adventure. Mondays are a great time to put your new ideas in motion.

The only thing in your way is you – go for it!

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.
Stay curious. Human imagination has led to the discovery of many amazing things, put a man on the moon and eradicated deadly diseases. The possibilities are endless, and it is never too late to learn something new!

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!
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!
I hope that during the upcoming week you achieve the breakthrough you have been working towards. If you are not hoping for a breakthrough, then I hope that you have a lovely week regardless.

It’s worth the effort, I promise.
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.
Sometimes, the best strategy is to detach yourself from the gratification of achievement, but focus on the benefits of the work itself. If you focus too much on the end result, you might miss something amazing along the way.

It is ok if it takes awhile to complete a goal – enjoy the adventure!
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
