The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 375

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 85 of our latest lock down. When I awake every morning I give thanks for the gift of a new day and the freedom to choose what I want to do with the day. The very foundation of freedom is the power to choose. Freedom is a lifetime practice, a choice we get to make again and again each day. What is very important in all our lives is that we don't get to choose what happens to us in our lives but we do however get to choose how we respond to our experiences. Many of us are aware that the most damaging prison is in our mind but we must realise the key is in our pocket and the gift of our new day gives us the choice to be who we are really meant to be. Most of us know these facts and most of us just need a little encouragement to turn that key, and if you don't want to take the advice of The Mindful Farmer why not read Dr. Edith Eger's books The Gift and The Choice. It will have a profound influence on how you look at your daily life - "your daily gift". Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and wear your smile.
