The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 92

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens. 92 days of life changing experiences from family to business, from sadness to joy and yesterday when I drove into the yard from outside the farm I nearly got a heart attack” firstly I had to have a second take? Was I seeing something or was it real? It was real! It was our youngest daughter, our baby, arrived home safely from Abu Dhabi where she is teaching. We thought we would not see her this year at all due to restrictions of travel etc but thank God she was allowed travel home along with her work colleagues and now she must self- isolate for 14 days but it was magic, amazing and a beautiful surprise arranged by her and her brother John. Nobody else knew it was happening. My heart is still beating loudly and it just goes to show that even in these trying and tough times there can be moments of indescribable joy which can set the heart free and immediately all intentions and worries stop and this joy that I experienced yesterday is still inside my heart and will be remembered forever. Such experiences reawaken the wonder in your life. The years have given me many gifts but such gifts my efforts could never earn and isn’t it wonderful to have the health to enjoy this mind, family to mirror mystery that unfolded before my eyes yesterday. Now I would like to send and spread the joy in my heart to all of you out there.

Continue to pray, bless and heal each other and wear that smile.
