Yesterday was a new moon, a black moon because it was the second new moon in one month. A new cycle begins and a new time to focus on personal goals that express positive energy.
Should we focus on –
- Work
- Our budget
- Our business
- A special relationship
- Or just having fun?
We’ll have trick or treaters tonight. That will be the first time in 20+ years I’ve been in a neighborhood that is conducive to having children knock on our door. In Bandon, Or. We our home was tucked back behind our commercial building and hidden amongst the huckleberry bushes. Too spooky and no real neighbors. In Escalante our home was again behind our commercial establishment and even though there were children nearby, they didn’t know us and didn’t stop to trick or treat.
We have a nice family two doors down now and they still have two children at home. They plan to come tonight and that will be fun. Their mom tells us we’ll probably get about a dozen stoppers, and that’s perfect for us. We’ve got a bowl full of Goldfish treats for whomever knocks. In addition, I’ve got a special enough basket for each of the girls. I’ll include my poem and list of what is your enough for each. It will be fun to see what their costumes are. I still have the scar on my thumb here the knife slipped cutting a slot for a hobo stick. We had great fun when my girls were little. I have a couple of pictures of them dress up for Halloween.
One of those pictures is with the San Diego Chicken. We lived in Santee, CA at the time and I was a PTA volunteer. My job was to help with the entertainment for the school Halloween carnival. The Chicken was brand new and indicated he would love to visit your school. So, I asked if he would, and he did. It was a huge success and great fun. More fun than elections.
Maybe that’s why there’s such a big interest in Halloween, even for adults. It’s a time you can dress up and pretend to be someone else. It’s a great distraction from politics and nasty elections. I’ll be glad when
- the nasty negative and stupid ads go away;
- when the Clinton News Network (CNN) goes dark;
- when the media realizes they’re no longer providing news and need a disclaimer that their report is only for entertainment;
- and for snow – the weather event that brings peace and quiet. A few feet would be fine.
Until next time.
