Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley : It's a perfect night for mystery and horror. The air itself is filled with monsters.

Happy Halloween

Samhain Blessing:

The Wheel of the Year prepares to turn once more.

Now is the celebration of Samhain, the Final Harvest.

A time to do final preparations for winter,

Remember loved ones who have passed,

And celebrate the Witches' New Year.

All houses wherein men have lived and died
Are haunted houses. Through the open doors
The harmless phantoms on their errands glide,
With feet that make no sound upon the floors.

We meet them at the door-way, on the stair,
Along the passages they come and go,
Impalpable impressions on the air,
A sense of something moving to and fro.

There are more guests at table than the hosts
Invited; the illuminated hall
Is thronged with quiet, inoffensive ghosts,
As silent as the pictures on the wall.

                     Haunted Houses, H,W. Longfellow

"Life is not just about peaks and valleys, about wins and losses. Life is about the journey. You hear that all the time. You’ve got to absorb that. You’ve got to know that. The journey has to become the destination because there is no true destination. There is no endpoint. There is no goal. All rivers run to the sea and yet the sea is not full. Life goes on; accept what life gives you. The sun rises the morning after you win the championship or lose in the first round." — Paul Assaiante, Run to the Roar

“With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

It's good to do uncomfortable things. It's weight training for life. ~Anne Lamott
