the tones of sitcoms......gentle laughter....


My soul has been in it's typical fall funk~it happens every year without fail as soon as October begins it's ascent into my heart. Before sinking into complete self pity Halloween always saves me. Although the why remains a mystery I do know that somewhere in the game of dress up I was saved from myself as a small, small girl. I was into pretending as a child and in the worlds I inhabited I usually played the Princess, the Teacher, the Doctor or my favorite....the Mommy.

Halloween allows me to feel the joy of little kids who are living out those roles today. Little girls really do not change too much from decade to decade. Basically always just striving to love.

My favorite costume was a yellow fairy princess dress that I decided was The Dress that Cinderella had worn. (She wanted me to have it because I had yellow blond hair too....) I remember deciding right then and there that I was going to wear that yellow dress to get married in.

I sure miss that girl child.

Do we ever tire of dressing up, donning the armor that wills us out the door and into the fray for another day? I knew a lad who loved to wear his Batman pj's all day long beneath his "reglar" clothes. When queried why, he simply replied, "Cause Batman is strong, and so am I when I wear these." I long sometimes to be another, slip out of the role life’s drawn me to. Sometimes I can slip into something more comfortable and live another life, even if for a day or an hour, it makes coming back to me all the more enlightening. Looking in the mirror, check out that little girl, looking longingly back, asking you to play.

Hi Christine,
This month makes one year since I started miy Kevin journal. It's been a Godsend for me as are those who stop by and visit. I've never been real crazy about halloween...it always had its contrasting sides to it. I am glad that children are able to enjoy it although it is getting harder for them to enjoy - the world being what it is today. I think the change of weather puts many people into a funk. Myself, I love the autumn months and look forward to cooler weather and change of scenery. Take, dear heart. Hugs, gloria

Would you believe Halloween puts me in a funk. I can only remember one that I really liked when my grandma made me a ballerina costume. The whole holiday makes me nervouse. But, I'm glad children love it.
BTW, I like your new color scheme. : )

Just a soul on an alternate version of your journey, I want to say that I admire your strength. If I had an ounce of the strength you possess, I'd be able to to move mountains. I would expose Osama like a cockroach scurrrying when the lights come on.

May God, and it's universe bless you.

I remember wanting to be Cinderella. My daughter was Cinderella too, and now her grandchild is preparing to be her. Just makes me smile . Remembering is such fun, isn't it? *Barb*
