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. 
Sometimes the best plan is to have no plan. Just relax, enjoy and explore. You might find something amazing.
Allow yourself a day or two to go without a plan, you never know what you might discover
I hope you had a wonderful Friday!
Sometimes there is not much to say
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!
Today is May Day, or International Workers’ Day. Interestingly, May Day originated in Chicago, Illinois, where demonstrators organised in May of 1886 after a two year effort to rally support for enforcement of eight hour work days. The Haymarket Meeting was put to an end by over zealous police officers who stormed the otherwise peaceful meeting demanding more equitable and safer working conditions. Eight men were arrested for involvement with the riot, although some of them were not even at the event, four were executed, three eventually pardoned, and one died mysteriously in a jail cell from the impact of a dynamite explosion. Needless to say, in 1889, at an international meeting for labor in Paris, May Day was designated as International Workers Day in honor of those who were lost in the fight for an eight hour working day. Although, not really celebrated in the United States anymore, May Day maintains international significance, and is widely a day of celebration and/or protest to continue the fight for better working conditions across the globe.
So, thank you to the brave men and women who stood up for the eight hour working day a century ago.
Happy International Workers Day everyone, may you be fairly compensated for your labor!
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt”
Wise words, I guess. The above quote is often attributed to Mark Twain or Abraham Lincoln, but the truth is that no one really knows. Such “wise” statements are often attributed to a many different people including they are just cliches that get constantly repeated Perhaps instead of invoking the words of people long gone (not discounting their achievements and importance in history of course) we should make our own quotes and define our own wisdom!
No need to quote past historic figures, don’t be afraid to share your own truth!
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.
