I’m have a lot of things flowing through my brain this evening. Instead of what I was going to write about, I have to say just a little bit about a sad little grey donkey.
If you’ve read Milne’s Pooh stories, you know that Eeyore is a sad little donkey. It always seems that there is a dark cloud hanging over his head. He had nobody to remember him on his birthday, until he said something about it. He lost his tail. He was bounced into a river. And he didn’t have a house during a snowstorm.
Only Eeyore could see the benefit of a broken balloon, the fact that there wasn’t a earthquake during the snowstorm. But in all this, he was very happy to have his tail back. A useful item just made for swishing about.
May you find good in all things, optimism during dark times, and have something to swish around just for fun.
Even during the scariest time in my life, I have found solace in those around me which makes me optimistic! Eeyore is a great character.
Eeyore is one of my favorite characters, coincidentally so is Tigger….which I suppose is a bit silly b/c they are both so opposite one another, go figure. 🙂
I think Eeyore is adorable, but it’s kinda sad that he is always sad.
Finding good in all things and optimism in dark times is always great advice 🙂
