It is frustrating sometimes when you are looking for something and your comrade does not take it very seriously. Sometimes, when my comrades are looking for things, I like to cheekily say, “it’s always in the last place you look!” Although this is a silly and unhelpful thing to say, it is also true.
Whatever you are looking for is actually in the last place you look!
They say that the month of March “goes in like a lion and out like a lamb,” indicating the end of winter and beginning of spring. Well, so far, April in the UK has been blustery and cold and not very springlike so far. Hopefully it will warm up soon, in the mean time, bundle up!

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.
There is always something to look forward to, whether it is a big cake on your birthday, a new adventure over the Easter holidays, a sunny day, or even a good night’s rest.
Springtime always fills me with hope.
Today is one of my favorite days of the entire year – the Vernal Equinox, when the sun stands over the equator and the night and day are equal in length. Most importantly, due to the location of the sun, this marks the beginning of spring and the end of winter. From this day onward, there will be more sunlight than night until the sunlight begins to descend back southward at the beginning of summer in late June. I hope that wherever you are, you enjoyed some sunshine today.
Today, I am introducing a friend of the goats from The Haven Zoo, a donkey named Rocky. Goats are not often discriminatory of the friends they chose on the basis of species, as goats have notably been friends with tigers, dogs, giraffes, cats and horses. In addition to being friends, donkeys are often kept on farms to protect smaller animals from predators like coyotes and wild dogs. Check out how to support Rocky and his friends at the Haven!

Only ten more days until the official start of spring. Early spring can be a really hopeful time of year, so many things may come to fruition, the promise of warmer weather and related adventures. It is also a great time to reflect on your goals from the beginning of the year, reassess, and maybe set new ones.
Are you looking forward to spring?
