The GOAT

It took me a long time to realize that GOAT also stands for “Greatest of All Time.” I think that jumping around randomly, eating whatever I want, and the power to head butt annoying people would be the GOAT. It is not offensive to be called a “goat.”

I am delayed in writing because my morning was taken up with drywall/contractor appointments and other distractions, which I allowed. My quiet, peaceful, morning reflection and writing time has gotten off to a rocky start. I read another wonderful meme on Twitter today that said “People who wonder whether the glass is half empty or half full miss the point. The glass is refillable.” (Rex Masters)

I am reminding myself that it is my duty to protect my glass and to refill it with what makes me sing. I must be more protective of my morning routine/ritual and my writing time. I must let my inner goat out, on occasion, to keep things “real.”

“Whatever gets your goat gets your attention. Whatever gets your attention gets your time. Whatever gets your time gets you. Whatever gets you becomes your master. Take care, lest a little thing horn in and get your goat.”  -William Arthur Ward

“Look carefully at the goat sitting on the edge of the cliff: Everything that shows you the peace of being fearless is a great teacher for you! That goat is a teacher for you, respect him!” –  Melmet Muran ildan 

Are you passing on love, or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.

  1. So many little nuggets of wisdom this morning!

    I absolutely love “the glass is refillable”! Duh! Of course, it is! Why didn’t I ever see that simple truth before???

    As a Capricorn, I was born a goat. I’m well-versed in the goatlike quality of head-butting people who annoy me! I just wish that I looked as cute as a baby goat in pajamas! LOL
