The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 600

Good morning and welcome and once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre. It has been six hundred days since I started my daily blogs. Call them messages, prayers, whatever the title, it doesn't really matter. When I began at the beginning of the first lockdown I decided I would begin daily prayers for the ending of Covid19. It has ebbed and flowed since then like an ocean, a storm, ferocious and then calm and then ferocious again and it still is howling away taking victim after victim and affecting if not destroying many a home and livelihood in its path. We as a people cannot allow Covid19 to determine the quality of our lives totally. We cannot control all situations but what we can do is to behave responsibly as individuals and collectively. We must choose to be content in the present and the now no matter how difficult the circumstances are. We must put more energy into our life, God and enjoying His presence and growing into it. We must continue to pray, bless, power healing and peace to all who need it, we must practice mindfulness, caring and healing towards all and wear our warm, Celtic smile always.

Warmest regards and prayers,

The Mindful Farmer
