The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 148

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 43 out of lock down. It is the start of another week and we are blessed with the weather. Last night, and every night before I go to bed I always walk outside and look up at the nights sky and say a little prayer for everyone inside the house and people that come to my mind outside. I have mentioned this to you before and I love doing it and it gives me great peace and fulfillment anad then I go inside, lock up, switch off the lights and retire but last night before I switched off the lights my mind was called to a framed photo of my Mum and Dad who have passed on for many years now but spirits live with us at Ballinwillin House. Last night I felt a huge presence of them in the room with me and it was beautiful. Two amazing people who lived their lives with nature and taught me so much about how to live my life in harmony with Mother Earth. But the best parts I remember about them was the best portion of their great life was the little, nameless and unselfish acts of kindness and love they showered on us, their children and their community.

We can all behave like Mam and Dad and continue to pray, bless and send healing to each other and wear that beautiful smile.
