A Tribute to Frostie the Snowgoat

A Tribute to Frostie the Snowgoat

Into everyone’s life a little rain (sometimes a lot) shall fall. Now, I know that this story is not about me. It is about the people and the little goat who lived it. So, the joy I felt when I first came across it and the sadness I feel today are not really the issue here.

LITTLE PIGLET, CHILLIWACK CATTLE AND A TREE OF HOPE

LITTLE PIGLET, CHILLIWACK CATTLE AND A TREE OF HOPE

 

I saw this quote on Twitter and  set it aside for creative post writing someday. Today seems to be the day! I saw it as message filled with hope.

We need to mindful, I thought, that we do not destroy the tree and its blossoms with continued …
