Halloween....perfect time to get out and have some fun

Happy Halloween Everyone.

Halloween isn't all about the Candy...ok well maybe for some it is! I have to admitt I looked forward to my son dumping his goodies in the middle of floor and nibbling on a chocolate bar as I ok'd the candy for him to eat. lol

It's a great time to enjoy time with family and friends, and have some fun !

What better time to put that TV flicker down and have some fun with the kids and get in a little exercise !

Here are a few Ideas:

1. Instead of driving the kids trick or treating , park the car and walk with them


2. Dress up ..yes Dress up..let yourself be a kid for a night


3. Take the kids to a corn maze and have a race to see who gets out first


4. Rake up those leaves and fill a few spider bags and decorate your lawn


5. Visit a haunted house


6. Carve some pumpkins. You don't have to have kids to enjoy


7. Put on some Halloween music and dance..shake what your momma gave you!

Speaking of Music remember some of those Halloween Tunes?

1. Thriller


2. Monster Mash


3. Tubular bells part 1


4. Time Warp


5. Ghost Town


6. Im your boogieman


7. Boris the Spider


8. Haunted House


9. Warewolves of London


10. Don't fear the reaper

What ever you do...Have Fun ..Be safe and put a little spook in your Halloween!!!!

Goofy

Sometimes we can take ourselves too seriously. I know speaking for myself, there are days when there is so much to do and so much responsiblity and it can be overwhelming at times...bills to pay, housework, yardwork, laundry, deadlines..blah blah blah you get the picture!

I use to stress out over that kind of stuff but not anymore, well let me rephrase that..lol..not to the level I use to, I still get a little overwhelemed at times. What I have learned is when I do begin to feel a little stressed..I STOP. Yes STOP. I have that right!

I take as much time as I need to regroup...I have to say allowing yourself to be a little goofy and enjoy doing something you love is a perfect way to not take yourself serious! Oh it could be dancing around the livingroom, groovin to the tunes in the car and singing as loud as I can, maybe its rolling in the leaves outside, driving around with my clown nose on, watching a funny movie or show , or hangin out with a friend and laughing....

The point is...don't deny yourself fun..laugh at yourself and be goofy..who cares what others think of you..if the truth be known they want to join you!!!

Time Heals?

How often have you had someone say to you time will heal or it will get better with time? Sound familar? I know for me, whenever someone says this to me It doesn't make me feel better, in fact quite the opposite. I feel as if the person doesn't understand my pain nor respect my feelings .

I know they are wanting to be supportive and it is said with the best of intentions however when you are going thru great heartache the last thing you want to hear are those words.

For anyone who has experienced heartache of any kind, it doesn't matter how big or small you know that time does not heal..its what you do in that time that heals. What is done in that time is different for all of us but what is important is to remember that although you may feel alone at times and no one understands...you are never alone and communication is so important.

Everyone is different..everyone deals with things in their own unique way..we have the best of intentions when someone we love is hurting..we want them to feel better and often we don't know how to help them especially when people shut down and stop talking.

From my own experience...a hug sure feels a lot better than hearing the words time will heal or it will get better with time ..how you make use of time helps to heal!

The great thing is ...Life goes on and with support , love, trust, faith and hope..there is light at the end of the tunnel if you are open to seeing it!!

Something to ponder!

How important is a minute to you?

"I have only just a minute
only sixty seconds in it,
didn't seek it, didn't choose it,
but its up to me to use it,
give account if I abuse it,
answer for it if I lose it,
just a tiny little minute,
But eternity is in it! " Author Unknown

I heard this poem today, short and simple yet so profound! The value of 1 tiny minute ...ponder that for a moment!

How important is a minute to you?

10-10-10 A Special Day?

Today is the 10 day of the 10 month of the 10th year, happens every 1000 years they say. Today is also the day my family will celebrate Thanksgiving together...so yes I would say it is a special day. The sun is shining, the air is crisp and the smells of fall and good food are pungent...it's a great day to be thankful.

May you find something to be thankful for today and use this day to reflect and share with others. Please remember those less fortunate and open your hearts and home if given the chance.

Warmest,
