The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 765

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, Gardens and RetrEat centre. The Mindful Farmer is suffering this morning. Yesterday I began a procedure for my two knees, stem cell treatment. The first session was yesterday and yes, it is extremely painful with two more sessions over the next four weeks. Hopefully in the future I will be able to walk a distance more than the one hundred yards at present. The wear and tear of hard work over the years has caught up with me but onwards and upwards. I plan to carry the pain lightly. Suffering knocks on all our doors from time to time. It is up to us to welcome its eventual gift, the fruits of suffering. May the grace of time heal all our wounds and gradually we will all return to ourselves. Now is the time to be excessively gentle with myself, my time to pray and heal. Continue to pray with me, send blessings, peace, hope and happiness to all who need it and wear your Wednesday smile.

The Mindful Farmer
