If you know me at all, you know that October is my favorite month. Not only is it the last month of the year that I have to cut my grass, the incessant sweating begins to fade, ...and it ultimately means Halloween is near.
It always makes me think of all of the haunted houses my parents took my brother and I to when we were younger.
Life is a hell of a lot more simple when you are younger. Everyday thoughts consisted of: "When is Peter going to finally accept Slimer as one of their own", ... and... "when are they going to actually make a hoverboard"... and.. "When will I have my chance at Vada Sultenfuss."
Simple... yet important.
I've wrote a lot about the importance of keeping it simple.
The world tends to get a little more complicated as we get older. How do I pay the bills,....and what decision should I make that will be for the greater good, ...and what do I spend our limited time on, are the everyday thoughts. Life becomes objective oriented.
Sometimes, what you are trying to achieve is out of your hands. Sometimes it requires a little help.
And as you make your way through all of the noise and pollution the world will throw at ya, you keep uttering the same words Tommy said to the warden in Shawshank Redemption... "Just give me that chance".
When it arrives, you can't let it pass you by.
October ...(and the Halloween season).. has arrived.
