Hello Geranium Sunshine.

I love the name you chose.  My wife keeps a large garden.  It always makes me smile.

I am so sorry that you and your family are going through these very tough times.  

I hope that you can find moments of peace here and there.  

I will send you the occasional thought of peace and loving-kindness.   I'm sure that will other people that you know will as well, with thoughts, prayers and meditations, according to their belief system.

I kind of think of it as the “Original Internet”.  You don’t even have to know the person you are addressing.  You simply send a kind thought skyward.  The thought (amazingly) gets redirected and somehow finds the correct recipient!

How do you know when you have received such a “message”?  It might be as simple as a long, slow breath between sobs of grief.  It might be a pleasant memory.  It might be a funny story about your Mom. 

My Mom who passed away, often makes me smile in this way – just to let me know that she’s still with me but in a different way.

Moments of true peace may be few and far between, but take them when they appear.  Hold on to them, cherish them and hold them close. Use them to sustain you. 

I have found that journaling is very helpful for stress relief.  If you wish, you can relate some stories here.

We are all here to support you, Geranium Sunshine.  “Talk” to us whenever you need us.  eKim

Geranium

We are sad.  We miss the sweet flowers as winter draws upon us.

Yet we rejoice in the new flowers of spiring, part of re-creation.

We are sad.  We miss our loved ones when they leave us.

Yet we rejoice when we gaze upon the faces of our children.

Faces that are part of loved one's creation.

Therin lies the meaning of our lives.

Sunshine

We are sad.  We miss the sunshine when the clouds appear.

Yet we rejoice when the clouds drift apart and the sunshine warms us anew.

Therein lies the source of our joy.
