Unique Times

Where I share my jewels of wisdom of life

Behind the dark cloud the sun is always there and the clouds are wrapped in cotton candy to hold your tears and fears.

Lower Lake, California

Good Morning,

This is to my children and all of us that suffer silently and loudly. I just want you to know that I’m thinking of you as you go through your day no matter how difficult it might be, and let you know I’m sending you love and blessings.

❤️ Cindy

When you are in pain, I too am in pain. I wish I could take whatever you are going through away and make it right. It was easy in your younger days with skinned knees where bactine, a band-aid and hug was all that was needed to send you happily on your way.

Life can’t always prepare you for hard knocks and unexpected tragedies that are out of our control, that bring you to your knees in gut wrenching pain and sadness. I guess I didn’t tell you that part, cuz I wanted to spare you. Some things are just not fair, and it’s not your fault and beleive you me, if I could fix it, I would.

I will be here to listen and to hold your hand and your tears while you go through whatever it is in life, while you find your way. Make sure you hold yourself gently and lovingly, wrapped in cotton candy through the dark hours, while I call in the bees to make honey combs and sweet nectar.

It’s not your fault, remember that, and try not to get so far ahead of yourself, that you are robbed of sleep and forget to enjoy the moments that are good. Stay present and when you are in pain, breath in light and breathe out fear. Angels always beat the devil at the end of the day, so invite as many earth angels and ethereal ones as you can in, to help you ease the pain.

Try not to project too much into the future as your navigate the present, while researching your next steps. This is all easier said than done I know, but the only way out, is through. You can’t side step or skirt the issues so put your big girl/boy pants on, while you stay proactive, examaining your options and don’t let it dominate your day; or find someone to play dominos with.

Build sand castles and sugar blocks like you always have, and when they fall, pick them back up and build your foundation with your footprints in the sand. The sun is just behind the dark cloud, technology is aways improving and prayer never fails. So keep the good book in your pocket and don’t forget to sing a song. A penny in your pocket and and a feather in your cap, reminds you that you are rich beyond measure and have wings to help you fly.

And baby never forget you are strong and resilient but wear a helmet and shin guards when you need them, because life’s gonna give you some hard knocks. It only gives you as much as you can handle, as the saying goes, and you only know that once you’re through it. But have Kleenex and duct tape in your pocket handy, for your tears and to hold you together, while you heal.

And remember to look to the light that is always behind the dark cloud. Don’t forget, you will get kicked to the curb and it’s gonna hurt, but get back in the ring until you win the good fight. Sorry I didn’t tell you all of this; I guess I wanted to spare you, but you know, I’d do it all the same way again. Because one thing I know, is that love heals all, and I know that, because I’m your mama and no one loves you more, except maybe your papa.

Have a lovely day with cotton candy, sugar cubes, duck tape, feathers, a penny in your pocket with angels leading your way. Turn it over to God or whatever higher power you believe in.

I love you,

❤️

Cindy

Cindy, this is a splendid and touching offering.
“When you are in pain, I too am in pain.”
“And remember to look to the light that is always behind the dark cloud.”
I said it before I will say again: You spread love, beauty, and kindness.
Thank you!

Dear Cindy,

I concur with Gabriella. What lovely and special messages containing good advice and soothing reassurance for your children! These messages will stand them in good stead.

HaHaHa! It seems that we both publish a post on this special day of 11-11-2020. I would like to thank you for leaving a comment at my newest post at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2020/11/11/strong-wind-knows-tough-grass/

Behind the dark cloud the sun is always there and the clouds are wrapped in cotton candy to hold your tears and fears.

To your quote or statement I shall add the second line of the Chinese poem, which also mentions the sun as follows:

昏 日 辨 誠 臣

As mentioned in my said post, it literally means: “Evening sun recognizes honest statesmen”. This is an idiom sorely needed to be heeded by the POTUS.

Happy November to you and Gabriella!

You are very welcome, Cindy. I hope to find time to respond to your comment with a very bespoke reply as soon as I can at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2020/11/11/strong-wind-knows-tough-grass/

Meanwhile, I am preparing two other posts to publish on my blog one after another in the next two or three days. These two posts will be much longer and more substantial, and they are definitely going to be very interesting food for thought. Please stay tuned and put on your thinking hat soon!

Thank you, Cindy 🙂 Yes, he’s always with us because we carry him in our hearts as well as in our memories. A mighty fortress is God who promised that one day there will be no more sorrow, tears, etc. Until then, He will sustain and carry us through each day. Blessings to you and yours 🙂

Thanks Cindy, I love this. In fact, I needed to hear these words right now, especially: ‘Stay present and when you are in pain, breath in light and breathe out fear.’
I hope your daughter is ok. These words resonate with me because I am literally in pain, I have migraine from my PMDD and it is affecting me emotionally too. It is hard to even look at a screen except to watch nostalgic movies 😊 but I’m pleased I looked for long enough to read this ❤️

Hmm…try to click on my name if you’re using the WP app….then click on those 3 dots….it should show you if you’re following my blog….if you are, then it should show “turn notifications on”….if they are already, “turn notification off” would be the option….try to unfollow & then re-follow me….it would give you the option to enable notification….let me know if it works, Cindy ❤️

This is beautiful. It truly captures what it is like to feel the pain of your children. Also to know that pain is part of life, and we can’t protect those we love from pain. Very moving, but hopeful too 💕

Through both joy and pain,
we transcend grow and gain,
The sky would nourish us with rain ,
To feel the love and relive again ,
Nothing would go in vain ,
Higher levels of awareness to attain…

Oh Cindy, your beautiful words have me in tears. I feel them so deeply within my soul. For I too have felt the light behind the darkness. It always comes back. Everything is temporary. I love too the synchronicity that I feel here in your post because I posted an almost exact picture and similar sentiment today on my Instagram account. I will be sharing about this idea too on here shortly. What hope and inspiration you bring to our world with these words. So blessed to be connected to you dear Cindy❤

Your kids are really lucky to have someone like you. I know I am much younger than your kids, but I guess, you’ve become a family to me in wordpress! Thank you so much for making my day and I am sure this has made other’s day too! Lots and lots of love to you Cindy! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Dear Cindy, such a beautiful letter to your children. You are a very special mother and your children are so lucky to have you in their lives .Love heals all wounds and knowing the unconditional love of a mother is so reassuring.
I have a few grandchildren and have beeb blessed to have had a very close connection with them. One of the things I have always tried to instill in them is the fact that they will have many friends in their lifetime however their best and truest friend is their mother.. You certainly exemplified that in your letter to your children.
Many blessings to you and yours 💕❤️Thank you for sharing that beautiful profound 🧐 post

A listening ear and a bit of encouragement are the best I can do. I found your post very meaningful today. <3 All the best, Cindy!
