Baar-Neigh the carousel sheep horse is all about having fun! When we can, do things that make us happy and reconnect with ourselves. Don’t worry about what others think about us or who we think is watching. The carousel is a continued cycle, you don’t go anywhere, you don’t have an end, you just go around and around just for the fun of it! Just being in the moment. Enjoying that moment for what is it. The present. Life is very short and time precious. Make the most of it without regret.
