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.

Wednesday Wisdom: Enjoy Autumn Even if it's Short Lived!



Although it often seems as if our planet is reducing the number of seasons from four to two, there still is reason to celebrate and marvel at autumn/fall. This is a time that we celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving. This is when the trees explode with colors. It is as if God took the time to make them more brilliant to compensate for the dreary short days magnified by Daylight Saving Time. ( BTW--I think that all working moms should boycott that because it wreaks havoc on the kids! To read about my thoughts, click here.)

And it is the time is when we can finally rock our best fashions--at least in my opinion. I am a boots fanatic and I love that autumn allows me to wear cute boots instead of galoshes! (To read about my love for boots, click here.)  Here are two of my favorite autumn in Pittsburgh photos. I'm taking it all in because it snowed this week. So, before we know it, winter will be here!
