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 other day my friend Emily and I went for a walk and decided to take a short cut through the Rivers casino. As we walked through the casino our walk was interrupted.

A security guard refused to let us through without proper identification. Emily believed that we were being stopped simply because we couldn’t prove our identities. However, when she asked the security guard he said that we couldn’t let us enter because we couldn’t prove that we were twenty-one.

We were both shocked. Emily is younger than I am. However, she hasn’t seen twenty-one in a long time either.

It’s funny, I spent so long waiting to reach twenty-one. I tried to look older, act older, and tried to appear more sophisticated. Who knew that one day, being mistaken for a younger age would make my day???

NOTE TO SELF: Wear that outfit every day…
