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 Joy That Is This Life

Basking in the Sunshine
Raising my children has been my life's greatest joy. One reason is because I get to experience the world through their eyes. The simplicity of their love. Their joie de vivre. The way that they take pleasure in nature and people, it is astounding and I am here for the lessons.

This photo of my sun basking in the sunshine is one of my favorites because it captures the pure joy that he is experiencing in the moment. He is outside. He is at the playground and life is good! May we all experience this type of joy this week. If you do, give thanks. After all, this is the season of thanksgiving.
