The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 342

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 52 of our latest lock down. This morning as I gaze out my window of wonder I see my freshly planted orchard and I feel a great sense of happiness and warmth. At times like this it really warms my heart and soul to think back on the precious time spent with my grandchildren planting these trees. It always amazes me how intrigued they were at such a young age to get their hands dirty and "help" plant everything. They were full of delight and enjoyed their spins in the wheelbarrow too. It helps me to look back at these happy times while I am recuperating at home after my hospital stay. I always think that it is very important to acknowledge the tough times but not to dwell on them. It is the happy memories that will get me through this tough time. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and continue to wear your smile.
