The Mindful Farmer Daily Diary Day 89

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens. Day 89 in dealing with Covid19. I think it is fair to say that we Irish people are dealing with this pandemic well. We have been responsible, we have followed guidelines and slowly, slowly we are making our way home to real life again. Today I am going to talk to you about “wakening”. So when I woke up this morning I gave thanks for the arrival of a new dawn, safely and in good health. I look around me. I give thanks for the eyes to see the beauty around me and all its beauty. I give thanks for the gift of a mind clear enough to feel at home on this beautiful farm at the foothills of the Galtee mountains. I give thanks for my life and the enrichment of it by all the wonderful people around me and sheltering me from the harsh winds of life. I give thanks for the waves of possibility that the breaking of a new dawn will bring and now I just wait, rest and be mindful for any furtherings of joy this new day will bring and I will be ready to embrace it with wide open arms. So to all of you out there be conscious of your waking every day and do so slowly and mindfully and continue to pray, bless and heal each other and wear that smile.
