Halloween is the "scary" holiday. Skeletons & ghosts, black cats, scary masks, carved pumpkin faces that flicker with shadow and light and screeching noises startle us along our path. Of course, Halloween also brings all sorts of costumes on sweet children ringing our doorbell and saying "trick or treat". They smile as they fill their bags with candy, somehow managing to return home with more than mom and dad were able to hand out in the same period of time. It's one of the amazing laws of Halloween!
Have you ever considered that life can be a little like Halloween? It can be scary and sometimes filled with shadows and light. It can be startling and yet, like the "scare", can be exhilarating and fun too. Like our trick-or-treaters, life can be filled with things that look intimidating but are really very sweet inside. And like the Halloween candy that we'll give out, life can give back in abundance as well.
I hope your Halloween is filled with scary, sweet and exhilarating experiences. And, I hope your life is too.
Happy Halloween!
