Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round

Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

This photo captures a few of my obsessions, my son, the beach, and sunshine.
My son is obsessed with trains so his obsession is captured as well. You may be thinking, "Doesn't she have other kids???" The answer of course is yes. We have two more. Like I told my daughter, I am unequivocally and equally obsessed with each of them. The other two just aren't in this photo! :-) Stay tuned though, they all get featured on this blog.
If you have visited this blog before, you know I love a vacation! (If you're considering taking one, here are some tips--Working Mom Tip: Five Tips to Prepare for Vacation)  

 I posted this photo because in between vacations, I dream about going on one. Apparently, I am not alone. Research has shown that planning for vacation can actually be more rewarding than taking one. I don't really buy that, but it is fun!
