The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 770

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, Gardens and RetrEat centre. What a beautiful sunny morning we have today. What a bright way to begin another week full of optimism and vigor to face into another week. What I do, especially on a Monday, is to go barefoot into the garden. My Mam was a great believer in this practice and she would wash her face in the morning dew and I love to do the same. I feel nearer to her and nearer to God when I do this. When I feel my feet in total contact with Mother Earth I stand very still and in the now and I feel the awesome power of the earth that is spinning beneath me. It is solid and stable and I feel this earth connecting my family, my friends, loved ones, even strangers and no matter how far apart we are we have this beautiful and wonderful connection. This morning I feel safe and free in my garden and on the farm in the midst of my animals, my family, our guests and our work colleagues and I feel blessed that all around me is nourishing my heart and soul. Continue to pray, bless, power healing, peace and hope to all who need it and wear that Monday smile.
