The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 659

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre. Over the years I have been blessed with a great work ethic and work, combined with prayer, especially when I work outside on the farm or in the gardens, combined with blessings make my meditation time complete and relaxing. It is important in life not to evaluate your achievements be they trivial or monumental. Instead, when you wake up every morning, give thanks and appreciate everything you encounter on your path. Enjoy nature, the plants, the trees, the animals. I saw a beautiful rhododendron shrub about to blossom. These are all here for us to enjoy. Watch the sunrise, listen to the birds sing, the children gaily at play, the wind as it softly massages the tall trees, drink it all in. Uncle Jack said "there is no way to happiness but happiness is the way." Continue to pray, bless, power healing and peace to all who need it and wear your Monday smile.
