Happy Halloween!
Sometimes people say, “I hate the holidays.” And Halloween is usually the day each year when they start saying this. I help lots of people change this attitude. Usually they have very, very good reasons for disliking holidays… something terrible happened to them during the holidays, or celebrating the holidays only underscores a painful loss they suffered.
And that’s how it is for many of us. But if we keep it that way–if we leave holidays out of the pattern of our lives–we miss out on chances to connect with others, mark the seasons, celebrate what makes us glad in life, and just have fun! So I wish you a Happy Halloween, and hope you can be surprised by the beauty and delight of this time of year.
