The Mindful Farmer’s Daily Diary - Day 18
Good morning all and welcome again to Ballinwillin House farm on this the 18th day of lockdown on our farm.
We are delighted to get some meat orders out today at the Watergrasshill Neighbour Food platform and today we will also be joining the Limerick neighbour food delivery programme. It is a small step but a step forward none the less, it is difficult to be working hard every day maintaining the land, the herd and your stock and no outlet, no income but this is a great help psychologically, mentally and physically.
Now to my message for today, it is about friendship. May you be blessed with good friends and of course be a good friend yourself. Friendship to me is where your journey to a place where your soul embraces the soul of another and where there is love, warmth and true feeling and this may be in the distance and maybe in silence but never the less it will change you.
It will melt what is cold, negative and distant in your heart. It will bring you to a place where passion and kindness belongs. May you treasure your friends. Be good to them and be there for them fostering them through the challenges they face in life and may you guide their feet with an everlasting lamp of love to where they and their soul needs to be and during nightfall may the warm embrace of mutual love wrap around you in a heavenly blanket.
Continue to live outside where possible and in nature, eat healthy food, draw beautiful clean oxygen into your bodily cells to fight this virus. Say the prayers, bless all around you and keep mentally strong and let your smile change the world.

We may meet later on the farm. Sorry about yesterday, most of my plans went out the window due to some animals misbehaving, but that is farming life. Hope to talk later regarding the competition.
