One more halloween post to In honor of the day of the dead, Día de los Muertos, to honor the dead and those that live in our hearts.
With all that’s wrong, there’s more that’s right!
Hands still open to help us up.|
Words still echo balm for the soul.
Tears still shed to cast rainbows of light.
With all that’s wrong, there’s more that’s right!
Ricochet kindness and spew drops of honey.
Go inside and clear your kingdom.
Open your heart to let love in and share it.
With all that’s wrong there’s more that’s right!
Open your home.
warm kindles of the fire,
create a haven to heal all wounds.
With all that’s wrong there’s more that’s right!
Life is fleeting so take each day as it comes.
The sun comes up, the sun goes down.
Nature still changes from blues to browns.
With all that’s wrong there’s more that’s right!
Turn off the boob tube.
Turn on your inner light bulb.
Keep up the good fight.
With all that’s wrong there’s more that’s right!
It’s Fri-Yay Funday after all!
We went back to our ole stomping grounds with the babies where we used to live. We sold our home to my mom and Step Dad in Menlo Park, California years ago and we used to bring all of our friends and their families there since it was the place to be. My mom made dinner for everyone which was about 40 people and we had a ball. They were both such gracious hosts.
This year we found the streets barren which was really sad and understandable. Even in our area where you think you are safe, there are lots of burglaries which has everyone on high alert.
We went down one block where there were massive parties going on where everyone was invited. It was surreal and I couldn’t stop wondering who these people were that would open up their homes to everyone this day and age. They get over 1,000 people and the food and drink they handed out to everyone was unbelievable and the decorations were incredible. They assured me there was plenty of security that could and couldn’t be seen.
If by chance the 3 families are reading me, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We had a ball!
Thanks for stopping in and making my Fri-Yayyy special.
Make everyday moments memorable as we are not promised tomorrow.
Hugs and love to those that are mourning and undergoing hard times.
💗🙏🏼🤲🏽

Sienna didn’t make the cut for the last post until I just added it.. so here she is. I hope she likes Santa more than the pumpkin.

Your message reminds us to cherish everyday moments and express gratitude for the people who bring joy into our lives. Wishing you more special moments ahead my dearest Queen 👸 ❤ 🥰🤗
It was a fun surprise and when we stay awake, we stumble on them by happenstance. I know we have to focus on that as well. It’s the little things that spread light.
I’m glad you enjoyed my post my dearest Princess Suma💕 have a wonderful weekending. 💞
Love your refrain girlfriend, “With all that’s wrong, there’s more that’s right!” Beautiful reflections and oh what a wonderful Halloween surprise that filled the sad hole where cheerfulness and celebration once stood. 🤩
Yeah, Sienna doesn’t look too happy as the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown! LOL 🤣🎃😂 So glad to read a warm and fuzzy story on your FANtabulous Fri-Yay FUNday Cindaaaayyyyyyy!!! Have a wonderful weekend my dear Energizer G’Mama! 🥰💖😘 Hugs and smooches!
Thanks dearest Kym Dawlink. Glad you enjoyed my refrain and Halloween fun that we happily stumbled upon.
Not too happy at all. Lord child .. what’s a Gmother to do.. lol. sigh.. ha.
Happy Fun Fri-Yay to you too my dear friend. 💗💞🥰
Girl, being an Energizer G’mama, you have entered a new chapter of endearing surprises, especially with those adorable granddaughters of yours. Keep up your protein intake girlfriend! 😜💖😍 Hugs and smooches always! 😘
That’s for sure my friend. I’m even gonna try to have lots of things they might need that I never had for my kids lol .. Fueling up my dear friend.. thanks 💕
I so love that Cindy. I know you won’t disappoint my dawwwwlinkkkkk! Smooches! 🤗💖😘
Never.. hugs and love ❤️
🤣💖😂
Great read and pix, Cindy! 🧡 🎃
thanks so much Nancy 💗
Great read Cindy! 💜
Thanks truly my freind💕
Most welcome. 🤗
💗💗💗
Wow, so lovely of them to open the party to everyone!
I know right! The bonus is I didn’t get into the party minutia of having to socialize .. lol and eat and leave hahaha😂💕. Do i sound anti social or what.. ha.. don’t answer that. ❣️
Lol that’s the best 😅 I’m like that too- just there for the fun and food 😆
hahahaha.. I knew you would. I’ll bring you with me next time… 👏🤲🏽💕🎃
Lol yesss 🎃
I share your optimism, Cindy. The media understandably focuses on the wars, crime,
and corruptness of government, but even with all that, there is so much more goodness in the world.
That photo of Sienna is the perfect example of all the good. What’s could be more precious than a child being born into a loving family?
Oh Dear Pete,
Thank you for you wonderful comment. We have to hold optimism and the news feeds on bad things, war, crime, etc and we have to continue to fan the love that is all around us. It’s truly important like you say.
Awww yes,, it is.. she’s pure sweetness and hope for a better tomorrow I pray. Thanks my friend and have a great weekend! 💕
So cute, well she will be older, and at that age a couple of months makes a huge difference! Have a wonderful weekend. I enjoyed all your memories. 🙂
Amazing how time goes so fast and in a blink of an eye it will change. Thanks Marsha and you have a great one too💕
🙂
💗
I hope my comment went through. This was blank when I blinked! 🙂 With all that’s wrong, there’s more that’s right! 🙂
It did, it did.
It doesn’t always feel that way, especially now but we’d never get out of bed if we let ourselves go down the rabbit hole. xo 💕
Helllllooooooo Hellllllooooooo!
🎃💕🎃💕🎃
Wonderful reminder, Cindy!. There are no guarantees of another day! The party sounds amazing. <3
Cute little pumpkin. Before you know it, she will be carving her own pumpkin!
Have a great weekend! Extra hour of sleep tonight! <3
We have to let the little blessings count in our day otherwise we might not get up. It was very kind of the people.
That is so true, they grow fast.
I will and you too!!!
Hugs,💕
Happy Fun Friyayyy. Amazing poem, Cindy. What an amazing party!!! So sweet of them. Sienna is such a cute little pumpkin. Love the pics.💕
Thank you so much Grace and to you! It was generous for sure. Totally kind. Glad you liked the pics of sweet Sienna. Have a great weekend! 💗
My pleasure. Absolutely. I sure did, Have a great one too.💕🙏💕
Awww thanks a bunch. I will, thank you💕
💕
And there are many loving people in the world, like you, Cindyloo. Thank you for sharing messages of inspiration and hope. 🙏🏻 Love this line: “Go inside and clear your kingdom.” ✨ 🧘🏻♀️ 💓
And you too Michele Mi Bell. It’s a tough one but we just have to maintain some sense light.
I’m so glad you liked this line. In your case it’s “go inside and clear your castle. hee hee.. xo 💗 bella the ball.
Thank you, and yes, we must. ✨ That’s cute! 😊See you there, Cinderella! 💃🏼🪩💃🏻
With bells on, my friend. Remember your wand! 💕
Yes! 🔔 Thank you for reminding me, I usually forget something. 😆💕
This is such an uplifting post, Cindy. Thanks for sharing and little Sienna is so darn cute! Our neighborhood has been dead on Halloween for the last several years and it’s so sad too. When our kids were little, the streets used to be teeming with adorable and excited trick-or-treaters. Oh well, we have the memories. 🙂 Hugs! 🧡🎃👻🍁
Awww thanks so much Lauren. She really is, Wild you had the same experience. Those were special days. May we always continue to make our own fun. 💗💕💗
“Turn off the boob tube.
Turn on your inner light bulb”
Yes!!! ❤️
How did I know you would like that! Yes, yes, yes yours is always on!
💕❤️❤️💕
So is yours, Cindy. It’s what makes you so special. 💫❤️
Oh that’s very sweet of you to say! 💗💕💗
☺️❤️💫
Nice. :^)
Thanks much!💕
Liked that: Turn off the boob tube & turn on the inner light.
Thanks a lot for pointing out what you liked!
💕
Love the spider web. I think I would be making a fuss if someone put me in a pumpkin. Super Mario and SM characters were popular costumes. At least at the doctor’s office. Several staff, nurses and my doctor were donning Super Mario costumes when I went to the doctor on Halloween.
Of course you do “Spider Man”( grin). Me too! It was all I could do to not do referee interference although I tried… -:(! How cool your doctor and staff dressed up!!
💕
Thank you for your positive words, Cindy! Our new neighborhood doesn’t have too many young families. We went to my daughter’s neighborhood for trick-or-treating. All the homes were decorated and open for the kids. It took us hour and a half to walk half a mile for the grandkids to visit all the home. It looked like the shcool was out and all the kids were on the streets all at once. We have security cameras for our home and they recorded 14 families came to our door. Next year, we’ll leave some candies out on our .
Sienna is so cute but I’m not sure if she liked the pumpkin. Yes, she would like Santa Clause better.
You’re so welcome Miriam and thanks so much for being here and your wonderful share of Halloween night. It sounds like a lovey family experience. What fun for the kids. Sadly and smartly it’s wise to have security cameras.
Oh thanks, she really is. I think not but hopefully, you’re right … she’ll like Santa Clause 💗
Let her have the gobble gobble first before Ho Ho Ho! 💖
Hahahaaha,. yes, it’s turkey time soon.. lol 💕
How cute😍👶🎃 I’m sure she’d love to take a pic with santa❤️
Thanks Tanooki.. as long as she doesn’t cry.. no need to torture the poor child.. lol 💗
Nice post 🖊️
Thanks so much💕

Hi Cindy, how amazing. Such a wonderful looking party we don’t have Halloween here but I’ve held a few parties anyway 🧙♀️ a lovely poem too.
It really was so kind of them and opened my heart. Oh I love that you have celebrated anyway. It’s such a fun day for the kids small and big. I’m so glad you enjoyed my poem, Robbie. Thank you so much!🎃
My pleasure, Cindy
💗💗💗
❤
💗💗💗
Stunning lines, Cindy. Makes one speechless, thanks a ton.
Oh my heart just leapt hearing your words J M. Thanks truly and you’re most welcome💕
Sounds like you had a wonderful Halloween. I love your poem with so much love and positivity. Thanks for sharing and cute photos too. 🥰
It was lovely Sadje, thank you!
So happy you enjoyed my poem and photos! Thanks, my friend!
💕
You’re most welcome 🤗
💗💗💗
“With all that’s wrong, there’s more that’s right!” I love this line, Cindy! 💕
I’m happy to hear that Eugi, thanks!
💕
You’re welcome, Cindy.
What a wonderful time you had, Cindy! And so lovely a party open to everyone! And your words”with all that’s wrong, there is more that’s right” will remain with me. A lovely read indeed! Have a great weekend 🎉💖💐
We really did. I responded to you on my phone but I don’t think it worked. It was so very generous and I was struck by that feeling when I was there and they opened there doors to all. That is the mantra I want to focus on and hope see it come into fruition. Thanks so and you have a great weekend as well💗💗💕🌈
So nice of you, Cindy! Always welcome 💖💐🙏
“Life is fleeting so take each day as it comes.”
A wise and timeless piece of advice, Cindy! Fantastic writing, as always ❤️
Thank you always D! So good to see you! It’s been awhile. I’ll come visit. 💗
This is the beginning of the parade of holidays, and they will all be so much more meaningful with your adorable babies.
And now it moves with a flurry Mary! I’m sure that is true!! Have a wonderful weekend
💗
More right than wrong. Agreed! And thank you.
I’m delighted you agree. Cheers to that. You’re welcome and thank you! 💕
You are such a beautiful soul, Cindy <3
Awwww…. that makes my heart happy to hear. Thank you dearest David💕
What a lovely, positive post, Cindy. Poor Sienna…Can she perhaps be worried about the Cinderella story of turning into a pumpkin 🙂
Thank you so very much Carol. Oh yes, that’s exactly right. The poor little one. I’m trying to get on your site and having a hard time.. will keep trying. 💗
What a wonderful thing to find gracious hosts in these times when everything seems barren. There’s light at the end of the tunnel and sometimes spooky lights of Halloween can turn into a friendly gesture. 🎃
Remember me, Cindy???
I’m glad you enjoyed it dear Ranjana. We have to keep hope. Yes, of course I remember you. Am I way behind visiting? 💗
The baby looks tormented
Hahaha poor child I know!🎃
Quite evil😈
I agree!!!
This is a brilliant poem and the baby is just too cute! Little pumpkin.
Thanks so much Belladonna.. it’s my fav pic.. she is a cute one for sure.
You’re welcome!
💗💗
Great reminder. Thank you for that. 🙂
You’re welcome Betsy!
Thank you!💕
A beautiful poem and reminder that there is still love, kindness, and compassion in our world, Cindy. These times are so hard, so keep spreading the love. And Sienna is so cute in that pumpkin, though I think she wants out! Lol
Thank you so much Diana. It’s truly a horrific time and we need to do our best to spread our light in the best way we know how. Thank you. She is such a cutie and she sure did not like that at al. I tried to rescue her but i’m just the grandma .. lol. 💕
<3 <3 <3
Cindy, I loved your poem. Encouragement is under-rated. 🙂 Your little Sienna in the pumpking is adorable! Hugs <3 xx
Thanks Debby. I totally agree during this time of so much angst. We have to meet hate with love. Thanks she is adorable. 💕❤️
Beautiful. <3 xx
💕💕💕
<3
Very inspiring, Cindy. Wow, that sounds like a fun party, but my introvert would run in the opposite direction. ☺️
Thanks a lot Mary. It was great since it was so festive and inviting. Even you might enjoy it as you really didn’t have to talk and just enjoy. We were probably there no more that 30 minutes. 💗
I could do 30 minutes. 😲
Eat, drink and be merry.. here’s your hat, what’s your hurry.. ;lol
What a lovely post, Cindy! 💞💞💞 I especially love the phrase “ricochet kindness”. 💞
Loved the decoration
The post made me smile
and the dress up, can’t ignore the magic in that
