Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round

Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

The joys of autumn...

on

Autumn has finally descended upon Pittsburgh, effectively ending my summer romance. Amazingly, I have found new things to love.

The foliage is absolutely spectacular! The trees are full of reds, oranges, and rust colored leaves. They are so beautiful that I can only hope that I can find a dress in one of those colors.

Being able to breathe freely without the humidity is a welcome relief. I might be inspired to take up running again. Also, the clear, crisp air allows for more expanded wardrobe options.

You're probably surprised to hear me talk about autumn with such affection given my recent love affair with summer. What can I say, I'm fickle! :-)

Also, you know how romance goes. When you're in the midst of it, you are blind to its faults. However, after it's over, you have a chance to gain some persepctive. And perspective has a way of making you realize that you shouldn't limit yourself.

As much as I loved summer, I am looking forward to feeling the cool air kiss my cheeks, smelling the burning of leaves, and hearing the rustling of the trees...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
