Turn those Halloween tricks into a treat you can enjoy

Halloween is finally here and you can enjoy the happiness on all your visitors faces. This is an exciting time for those getting candy as well as for those waiting at their door to give you some candy. But it is important to check every piece of their candy because unfortunately even little children are not safe from an evil person putting something in the candy to harm them. In the good old days you were safe to eat a piece of candy or two as you ran from house to get as much candy as you could. It's only for two hours  and it comes just once a year. Remember if they don't have a light on to welcome you, just run past that house to get to their neighbors house who is waiting to see your costume and give you candy to enjoy. As we all know Halloween signals the countdown to Christmas. Don't forget to shop for the Halloween clearance to find unique things to turn your wrapped presents into robots that will be fun to look at until Christmas day when they can finally open them. Happy Halloween.

Forgiveness you do for yourself

To forgive someone is something you do to let go of the negative feelings so you can move on. Forgiving it doesn't mean you forget about it. It doesn't mean that what happened wasn't wrong. It doesn't mean that you will have trust in them to do the right thing for now on. It simply means you can JUST FLUSH IT so it doesn't do any harm to you anymore. Being angry at them about it would only hurt you. Forgiveness you do for yourself.

Everyone is free to have their own opinion or are they?

Ten people could see the exact same thing yet every single one of them can see something totally different. Does that mean nine people are wrong? Of course not. How you look at something determines what you see. And just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it wasn't there. There seems to be a problem with accepting that anyone could see things differently than you do. Our differences are what make every single one of us uniquely different. Can you imagine a world where we are all exactly alike. Or a world where your opinion didn't matter you had to do what your told, when you were told to, and like it or not you would. Well luckily we are free to have our own opinion and we need to respect everyone's opinion if we want to keep freedom to have our own opinion.

A little bit goes a long way

Every little bit helps. You can make a big difference by showing a little kindness. It isn't about how much you can do it is about taking a moment to show them you care. Even if you can't do anything just taking a moment to listen can help them a little. You don't have to say a word just letting them say it out loud gives them a chance to figure it out on their own. When all they are dealing with is swirling in their mind it is like a tornado. But as they gather their thoughts to say it out loud they are able to see more clearly what exactly they are dealing with. It is easier for them to solve their own problems when they can see clearly what the problems are.

Maybe or maybe not

Maybe it will happen but there is a chance it won't happen. Well there is a chance if you don't blow it. If you react defensively to what could happen in a situation you are choosing the outcome that may not have even happened. If you would have just waited to see what happened you could have had a better outcome for yourself. Although you will blame the situation for the outcome you really have no one but yourself to blame. How you react determines the outcome. You may have had to deal with a negative situation but that doesn't mean there wouldn't have been a positive outcome. Don't assume the worst if you want any chance for your situation to have a positive outcome. How you look at it and react to it determines the outcome.

Laughter is the best medicine

It had been a long time since I have laughed so hard. You can feel a good belly laugh from your head to your toes. It is like a FLUSH for your mind, body and soul. When is the last time you had a good belly laugh? It is usually over something silly but it just makes you laugh so hard that you almost pee your pants. Like someone accidentally saying froggiging. To hear the word now doesn't make me laugh. But when the word triggers the memory of the time my friends and I laughed so hard when it rolled out of our friends mouth, well it still makes me giggle a little. It is one of those things that you had to be there to understand why it was so funny. We all have heard that laughter is the best medicine. If you can make them laugh you can help them. You can not solve their problem but if you can make them laugh it will help.

Proper rest is needed no matter how old you are

You need to get enough sleep just as much as you need to maintain your diet and get plenty of exercise. It seems like people make sure to eat healthy and at least get some form of exercise yet they don't even pay attention to the hours of rest they are getting. When you are sick you and your doctor never seem to attribute it to a lack of proper rest. You may have caught a cold and need medicine but your body needs rest to recouperate. They put very sicksick patients in an induced coma because the body heals better and faster when you are asleep. So if you find yourself sick you need to get extra rest. And to keep yourself healthy you need to get proper rest everyday. Of course there are times when you treat yourself to a piece of pie but most of the time you eat right. There will be times when you stay up a little late but most of the time you need to get the rest you need. You may think you don't need a bedtime when you are grown up but you do if you want to stay healthy.
