Babies Make Everything Better

Babies make everything better. Whenever I am having a bad day or just need to relax, I go hang out with these baby goats. They make me laugh and smile and ease my heart. The little guy on left, the White Pigeon, lost his brother a few weeks ago. My mother also lost her brother a few weeks ago. I may be putting too many human emotions into this, but when I dragged my mother over to the farm in an attempt to make her feel better, her and the White Pigeon had an instant bond. That day was the first time in a few days I had seen her smile or heard her laugh. She sat with the goats for maybe 15 or 20 minutes, but in that time I think all of us felt a little relief from all the stress and sadness.

I am weary to say this, as I am not the fondest of children, but even human babies seem to have this easing capability. At my uncles wake there were two children there. One was three and the other almost a year old. They were the children of one of my cousins. And just their presence, them being passed around and talked to by what seemed to be an endless stream of adults, made everyone feel better. Even in a time as sad as the loss of a family member, something about new life makes it all better. It was as if in that moment, despite the sadness, people were able to forget about what they were feeling and were able to enjoy the healing qualities for a minute.

I personally am more in favor of baby animals, as they are cuter and less demanding in my opinion. But whatever works for people. Babies are an awesome therapy or stress reliever, unless of course they are the cause of your stress in which case you should find a different baby to mush on for a little bit!
