The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 104

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on this damp Saturday morning. A busy morning so far, deliveries to Neighbour Food commenced around 4am and back here around 11.30am, now doing my blog and then off farming for the day, moving deer and wild boar to fresh pastures and the goats also need new roughage, all in a days work but I am very happy, very mindful and very peaceful in myself and I am completely immersed in the now as I complete each task. So today I want you all to be totally present in the NOW no matter your task, situation or problem. Focus on the now. Focus on your breath and repeat these amazing words “if it is to be it is up to me!”. Why worry over the future? The present is all we have. The future will soon be present and the present will soon be past. Isn’t there a lot of wisdom in those words? The past is history, the future is mystery. We always have a choice. We can be happy now in the present moment or we can choose to be happy “when” or “if”. It is always our choice. We live at the foothills of the beautiful Galtee mountains and I often say to people “it is not the mountains we conquer but ourselves and enjoy the climb”

Continue to pray, bless and send healing to each other.
