The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 680

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre. Yes it is 680 since our first lockdown and 680 days since I decided on this route to document my thoughts and feelings on a daily basis. My wish was that it might help some people along the way, a way of many twists and turns, bereavement, chaos and at times happiness. What helped me through these difficult and sometimes awful episodes was my time spent in quiet places in the garden or sitting on a ditch out on the farm, sitting in quiet places and in prayer. During these times I felt God holding my hand in trust and I in turn asking for this trust to be extended to all who were near and dear to me, family, friends, colleagues and everyone and anyone that came to my mind. We were all in this together and it may not be over yet but now we are more experienced and resistant at taking it step by step, moment by moment and we must continue to pray, bless, power healing and peace to all who need it and wear our Tuesday smile.
