The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 248

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 28 of our new lock down. Yesterday was a very busy day as the number of people contacting The Mindful Farmer is on the increase every day. People to join at RetrEat, people seeking help on the phone line and I am very happy to deal with all and especially during this pandemic. Peoples lives have been interrupted, cut off at all ages but all people have the right to live with integrity and dignity. How do we do it? I believe we have to live from our inner strength and wisdom and enduring Irishness guided by our spirit which is a force stronger than ourselves, a force that calls forth the best in us and inspires us and the most important point to remember is that “force” is not just in some of us, it is in everyone. There is a lovely line in a song called “the rose” – just beneath the bitter snow lies the seed that with the suns love in the spring becomes the rose. What a beautiful message this is indeed and if you really want to feel amazing for the rest of this day, week and month, listen to Bette Middler singing this song.

Continue to pray, bless and send healing to all and wear your smile.

The Mindful Farmer
