The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 262

Good evening everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on the first day of our new lock down. I am coming to you much later than usual today for the following reasons:- the meat business has gotten very busy again thank God and secondly The Mindful Farmers bad back has erupted again and getting around in excruciating pain is very difficult but we are getting on with it and as my late and fantastic mother used to say “for Gods sake, don’t be complaining - you are so lucky to have your business” and she was right. It is wonderful at the end of each day no matter how difficult to say a little prayer for thankfulness. When us adults are too busy we have lost that ability to stop and stare. Is it no wonder that our sense of mystery is lost to us? If you look at children, they always have the time to look out and live in the now. We must do the same. It is never too late to recover our sense of now. It is as natural as breathing. When we do so we also see the eyes of the heart wonderment of all around us and Mother Nature. Continue to pray, bless and send healing to all and wear your beautiful smile.

The Mindful Farmer
