The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 430

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm,gardens and RetrEat centre. We all believe at various times that we have conquered ths secret of life and that is a wonderful thing for as long as it lasts. I remembered a saying from my great uncle Jack who was always in great humor and lived up to 98 years of age. I remember once when some American relatives visited and asked him what the secret of his happiness was and he said without hesitation "well" with his eyes dancing in his head with unquenchable youth, "I make the most of all that comes my way and the least of what goes by my way" and he then went on to recote some of the poems he had written and I think we can all benefit from Jacks philosophy. Jack was a simple man who lived off the land and was the land. God bless you Jack and the wonderful memories you have left with us. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and wear your smile.
