The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 154

Good evening everybody and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 49 out of lock down. I am coming to you later today on this Sunday but we work daily on a wild animal farm and sometimes the unexpected happens and it did so this morning. One of our stags entangled himself in wire and it too Michael and I until 5pm to get him freed, risking life and limb but it was worth it and all’s well that ends well. It certainly changed the colour of my Sunday but in the end the stag ran off prancing towards his herd and Michael and I sat in the field and laughed out loud with exhaustion and it proved to me that we are all capable of living each day with joy and happiness no matter what the circumstances. Happiness is all about your relationship and friendship of course and it is the by product of pursuing some extraordinary purpose which we certainly had today and in this case contributed to the life of a master stag on our farm and it certainly brought to my mind this great feeling and reminded me that the most important primary relationship is with yourself so continue to pray, bless and send healing to each other and wear that smile.
