The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 379

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 89 of our latest lock down. I was listening to the Brendan O'Connor radio show over the weekend and he was speaking with Dr. Mary Horgan re covid vaccinations and she made a very sound statement, in my book anyway, that we should all go back to living how we did in the 70's and 80's when we were grateful for everything we had and more at peace with ourselves as people than we are now. Nowadays our lives are full of glitz and fast movement to nowhere. It sometimes feels like we are living in a parched desert with an abundance of water nearby only to find the tap to turn it on. Our present day culture is full of glass and pace on the outside whereas within we are often haunted and lost. We have fallen out of belonging. We need to make a stand now before the crucial and critical thresholds in our lives to protect the lives of others. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it. Feel the peace of life and listen to the clock ticking in the background. Have a wonderful, mindful Monday. Be caring, be mindful and wear your smile.
