Be more alpaca

Inspiration for this episode came from a blog post by Sue, my wife, - Quiet Disruptors -Yes, we’ve heard of ‘be more pirate’, and some of us have encountered ‘be more camel’.But what about being more alpaca?On a day when the final outcome of collective decisions that will affect the whole world is probably not yet clear, I thought a light-hearted invitation to be more alpaca might be rather attractive.After all, alpacas are:Calm–they rarely rush around, and their gentle disposition soothes those in their vicinityGraceful–they are such beautiful creatures you can’t help but smile when you see themDistinctive–don’t be fooled by their cute appearance, they have colourful individual personalitiesShrewd–they weigh up the situation and carefully consider the optionsHardy–they’re adaptable and cope well with the cold, though Welsh damp sometimes goes too farInquisitive–they’re curious and interested in what’s going on around them, nothing gets past themInclusive–how they look out for each other, especially for the youngsters, is heartwarmingI hope you find it a useful election distractionBe more alpaca!---Quiet Disruptors is a daily blog written by Sue Heatherington.
