The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 746

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, Gardens and RetrEat centre. Recently at a particular event someone I thought who cared for our family did something really hurtful. What do you do in a situation like this? Then I remembered the words of my father when things like this would happen to him. He would say "there is one thing that makes your mouth a lot faster than your brain and that is anger." He would then say to take a deep breath and as many as you can before you talk. Was this not our modern mindful advice? It certainly was. He would then say "know the truth but don't always speak it as it can result in unimaginable hurt to others." Great advice from the old man and it is funny now that I recall it and write it down. I am healing already and now I will send blessings, peace and hope to all who need it even to those who have hurt us. There is incredible power in the mind when it directs its light towards an object. Don't forget to wear your Friday smile.
