Henry the Donkey’s Peaceful Monday Morning
Mondays aren’t usually peaceful. Coffee spills, alarm clocks scream, emails pile up—but at the Boggs Funny Farm, Mondays have a different vibe, especially if you’re Henry the donkey.
Henry starts his morning slow. No rushing, no chaos, just the kind of leisurely stroll that makes you question why humans are in such a hurry. He wanders from the barn to the pasture, occasionally stopping to inspect a tuft of grass or give the fence a friendly nuzzle. It’s like watching a tiny four-legged philosopher contemplating life, hay, and maybe breakfast.
Meanwhile, the rest of the farm is doing its usual Monday thing. Chickens are arguing over the best pecking spots, goats are plotting another escape attempt, and I’m trying to sneak in a sip of coffee without being trampled by enthusiastic enthusiasm. But Henry? He’s unbothered. Calm. Collected. Peace embodied.
At one point, he even lay down in the sun, stretching out like he owned the world—and maybe he does. His serene little snooze in the morning light is the kind of thing that makes you pause, take a breath, and appreciate the small joys of farm life: warm sun, gentle breezes, and a donkey who knows how to enjoy them.
By the time I finally start my chores, Henry’s still there, occasionally giving me a glance that says, Don’t rush. Life’s too short. And honestly, he has a point. Maybe Mondays don’t have to be stressful. Maybe, if we channel a little Henry energy, they can be calm, happy, and ridiculously cute.
So here’s to Henry’s peaceful Monday morning—a reminder that even in a world of chaos (or chickens, goats, and chores), there’s always room for a little calm… and maybe a nap in the sun.
