The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 144

Good morning to you all and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 39 out of lock down. Thursday morning is always a very busy and early one but I always take a little time to pray and meditate and prepare for the day and when it is very early and very peaceful your mind ambles always towards something profound. This morning was no different and what came to my mind this morning was the beauty within people and especially the people that I encounter and some people that marked my week so far with their beauty. Some people try to stultify beauty by modelling themselves on others and maybe false people set by them or fashion, looks etc, but we should not torture ourselves with those false outer body images, we should nurture our own particular and unique beauty. We must nourish our bodies with healthy food and drink, nourish our minds with literature, art, good company and prayer, nourish our soul and spirit with silence, stillness, meditation and blessing. In this way we will rid ourselves of anxiety, anger and negativity and replace them with peace, joy and positive energy.

So for today, radiate peace and joy to all around you and continue to pray, bless and send healing to each other and wear that smile.
