Quotes for the Week: Halloween (Of Course)



It's said that All Hallows' Eve is one of the nights when the veil between the worlds is thin - and whether you believe in such things or not, those roaming spirits probably believe in you, or at least acknowledge your existence, considering that it used to be their own. Even the air feels different on Halloween, autumn-crisp and bright.


I'll bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween.  ~Author Unknown


As spirits roam the neighborhoods at night,
Let loose upon the Earth till it be light...
~Nicholas Gordon, poemsforfree.com


Eat, drink and be scary.  ~Author Unknown

Pixie, kobold, elf, and sprite,
All are on their rounds tonight;
In the wan moon's silver ray,
Thrives their helter-skelter play.
~Joel Benton


And my favorite quote.....
A grandmother pretends she doesn't know who you are on Halloween.  Erma Bombeck

News!

I've been very lazy about blogging the past month.  Sooo not me!  But I am back on track now, with  a new website  plus blog.  www.lossgriefandwhatconmesnext.com   Since this blog has become more eclectic, I'll be devoting the other to issues surrounding widowhood, loss, grief--resources, thoughts, feelings, etc.  At the site you can also download a free chapter of my memoir, Stumbling Through the Dark and listen to my podcast on the Author Show.  So I invite you to stop by, browse the content, and say hi in the comment sections.

I'm also going to join other local authors on Tuesday November 5 at 6:30 p.m.  at the Jewish Community Center Book and Arts Fair, 5601 S. Braeswood to talk about my book and sign copies. It's a free event, so if you live in the Houston area, I hope you'll stop by.  It's always fun to learn what local authors are up to.

Back soon.

The Alphabet of Living Right (from a birthday card)

Appreciate yourself
Bounce on the bed
Create a poem
Declare world peace
Explode a myth
Flabbergast a neighbor
Get up late
Help yourself to seconds
Imagine it and do it
Jump at the chance
Kindle a flame
Leave your troubles behind
Meet someone new
Nourish your soul
Opt for ice cream
Play all day
Quench your desires
Revel at random
Sing loudly, smile widely
Touch the sky
Uncork the champagne
Vamoose
Watch whatever you want
X-ercise your right not to
Yearn for the best
Zip, zap, zing and zone out.
