The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 168

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on this very pleasant Sunday morning and day 63 out of lock down and as always on a Sunday we rest as much as possible on the Lords day and I always like to spend quite a bit of time in the garden meditating and admiring the beauty that surrounds me. Today I am thinking in particular about my roses. Like us all their life is on hold also as if in sympathy with us over Covid19. I have never seen my roses, all 105 of them, so withdrawn but they have given so much over the years, colour, fragrance, beauty, they just give, give, give. It gives me great personal ease and comfort to rest here and admire this beauty. No one can take this time from me and at this present moment I am living completely in the now and no higher destiny is possible than to live our own lives, be in our own time and take up our own place and smell the roses. So on this beautiful Sunday, let us all take time to smell the roses and continue to pray, bless and send healing to each other and wear that smile.
